October 19th Edition of
The K/1 Class News
Greetings Everyone!
We had another fun week! It was very wet some days and I have lent out rain gear to some of you. Please return to the school.
Monday, we worked on printing the lowercase letter ‘c’. The class also played a fun spider game in the gym, worked on story sequencing, and went to the forest. Monday is library day every week, and it was the first time books were signed out. Please send the books back on Monday so your child can take home a new book!
On Tuesday, we focused on the core competency, "Communication” and talked about different ways we can communicate. We also went to the Whole School Meeting. Later, the kids went to Music, and we went on a nature walk to visit the nearby bog. We will revisit the bog over the year to notice the seasonal changes.
Wednesday, we worked on our reading and each child had a chance to read one on one with an adult. We all had fun learning the rhyme, “Five Little Pumpkins” and combined art and literacy in a fun craft.
Thursday, we had free-choice in the gym, worked on different ways to represent numbers, played a letter identification game and went to Music. We also had our first meet up with our Big Buddy class. We will be doing activities with them throughout the year.
I have put together a class contact list. I know the kids all love connecting outside of school hours and “play dates” are great for this. It will be sent home in the planner bag next week.
Next week is Dd for Show and Tell.
