January 7th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Welcome back Everyone!
I hope you all had a good holiday and are ready for a great new term. The kids are, understandably, readjusting to the routines and expectations of the classroom and are likely pretty tired out after our days!
On Monday the students were very excited to be back at school. We talked about the months in the year and focused in on what happens in winter during writing. We started working on balancing activities in the gym and continued with our printing practice. Later we talked about the 5 senses and played a guessing game in the outdoor classroom using only the sense of touch.
Tuesday, we worked on counting on from a number other than one, a tricky concept for many! We also wrote about the winter break in journals and went to music. In the forest, we visited our favourite trees and noticed how the bark felt.
On Wednesday we started learning about measurement in math and also began a unit on penguins. Later we visited the library and worked on our reading. It was so nice to have a sunny afternoon outside after all of the rain we have been having.
On Thursday we continued working with measurement, comparing size, and played a beginning sound game. We also had music class and Quentin joined us for some fun outside.
Next week is ‘Mm’ week for Show and Tell.
Just a reminder that if you arrive after 8:30am to please check in at the office to let Rebecca know your child has come to school.
It was a great first week back. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Warmly,
Ara Van Riel
