October 12th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Happy Friday Everyone!
We have had another eventful week.
Monday was Thanksgiving so the school was closed.
On Tuesday we wrote about our weekend in journals, created beautiful pumpkin art and used berries etc. to paint in nature. We also welcomed some firefighters in to educate us on fire safety.
Wednesday we worked on counting and number recognition in a math game, talked about what honour means to us with Quentin and had buddy reading. Kaz worked with the class on friendship and we played in the forest.
On Thursday we had our Whole School Meeting (West, Emma and Jamie presented their pumpkin paintings in front of the school), went to music class and continued to work on story sequencing in our weekly Oral Language groups. Later we learned about bus safety from a local school bus driver and went to the forest.
Friday was a school day. The class worked on printing their names with the appropriate lowercase letters, worked with the Five Little Pumpkins story and then walked to the beach! It turned out to be a beautiful day and everyone had a great time exploring the seashore. We rode the bus back to school to finish it off. Thanks to everyone who came to help our class make the walk there safely. Library was cancelled today but will happen again on Monday.
Next Tuesday, October 16th, we are going on to Bon Acres farm and the pumpkin patch. We will be leaving the school at 1pm and taking the school bus to and from the farm. Each child will get to pick out a pumpkin to bring home! We will return to the school at the end of the day (2:45pm). Please hand in the $5/permission slip by Monday at the latest.
As you know, we have now started our home reading program. Please try to keep the purple folder, book, and planner in the plastic bag and return it each school day so your child can exchange their book. I hope you enjoy this reading time with your child.
Pizza day is coming up on Oct. 25! Order forms were sent home in the planner bag if you wish to order any for your child.
