October 27th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Greetings!
Another week goes by. The rains have finally arrived. Please insure your child has proper rain gear and boots when they come to school as we go out every day.
This week we began our Home Reading program! Thanks for participating in this. The kids are so proud to announce they read the “little books”. If you can keep the reading log and book in the planner bag, it makes it easier for me to keep track of progress. Thanks!
On Monday we continued to learn about printing and practiced the lowercase letter ‘f’. Later we made pumpkin art and then went to the pumpkin patch!! The kids were so excited to ride the school bus and pick out a pumpkin.
Tuesday was our Oral Language Groups. This week we worked on story telling using wordless picture books. We also went to Music class and wrote about our favourite part of our field trip. Later we got a lesson on bus safety from the bus drivers and went to the forest.
On Wednesday we played a card game called “Higher or Lower”. The kids did a great job recognizing if a number was higher or lower than the other number. Later the went to the library and checked out a new book.
Thursday was a half day. We played an alphabet game, had free choice in the gym and worked on how to solve problems that may come up.
We have been enjoying the regular Show and Tell days! Next week the children are encouraged to bring something that starts with the letter D. We are working our way through the alphabet.
Monday is Halloween! This will be an exciting and busy day for all of us. Children are welcome to wear costumes to school (please leave weapons at home). If you would like to send in a healthy/non sugary snack to share, we are going to have a little party in the afternoon. There will be a costume parade and an optional haunted hallway to check out. I may show a short Halloween movie as energy is likely to be high. Please do not send kids with Halloween candy in lunches. We appreciate these treats to be saved for home.
Important Dates to Remember:
Oct. 31 Halloween
