September 29th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone!
It was another busy week. We have really been focusing on learning our school rules of showing kindness to self, others, and the environment.
On Monday we practiced our letter sounds in “The Alphabet Rap”. We also learned a new game in the gym and worked more on playing safely. The kids created apple tree art after quiet time and then we went on a nature walk to check out the “Bog” that is near the school. We will visit this special place many times throughout the year and observe how it changes with the seasons.
Tuesday, we worked on making patterns and went to the gym. Olive came after recess to read a book about Whole Body Listening. You will have received a notice about it in the planner bag. Olive will be running our Oral Language groups once a week starting in October.
Wednesday the class had their individual photos taken. We played in the gym and went to the library and exchanged books. Please be sure to return these books by Wednesday each week so that your child can sign out a new one. During our outside time, we went to the forest and went on a nature scavenger hunt.
Thursday was Orange Shirt Day! It was amazing to see almost everyone in the school wearing something orange in support of all children and this important message! We participated in a school wide “read-in” with an Indigenous theme where the kids signed up to hear books in multiage groups. We also had music class and practiced making our names in nature.
We have really enjoyed the All About Me presentations! If you missed your day, please send it in whenever it is ready.
