April 14th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello families, here are a few highlights from our week.
Monday there was no school due to the Easter long weekend.
On Tuesday we started learning about measurement in math. Our first focus was comparing sizes relative to us. We also had our last Oral Language group with Olive as she has now moved on to the wonderful world of retirement. We have been so lucky to have her assist our class for so long! Later the children went to Music class. A highlight of our day was candling our chick eggs! It is a way to check for development using a dark room and flashlight. So far only one eggs didn’t work out.
Wednesday we continued learning about phonemes and letter knowledge, had our Whole School Meeting and went to the library. We also continue to watch our pea garden! Soon little shoots will poke through.
On Thursday we went up to our Big Buddy group and practiced reading with them. We also started an EPIC writing sprint with the help of our teacher librarian, Katie Brown. We will be working with Katie twice a week on different writing skills for the next month.
Friday was a school day and PJ day! We ran on our Monday schedule. We practiced printing the letter p, made beautiful spring flower art inspired by Eric Carle and went outside. The afternoon was sunny and warm.
Next week is the letter V for Show and Tell. Please only send one item in.
This last term is a busy time. You will notice more permission slips or forms coming home. Please be sure to keep an eye on the important dates and check the planner bag each day.
