February 4th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Happy February Everyone!
It was an eventful week.
On Monday we worked on our printing, talked about story sequence and did a writing activity. Later we worked on our reading and learned a new “Word or the Week”! We also talked about the Lunar New Year. In the forest, the kids found special items to create wind catchers and had free forest play.
Tuesday was our Oral Language groups where we continued our work on segmenting sentences into words. The kids had fun creating “silly sentences”. Later we wrote about what we like about ourselves in our journals and I was impressed by the level of independence many of the children are developing! The afternoon was spent in music class and in the forest.
On Wednesday we continued our work with measurement and learned more about penguins. The children went to the library and then we made some love heart art. It was sunny, yet cold out in the forest!
Thursday, we worked on number recognition, had buddy reading with Ms. K’s class and were excited to observe the salmon eggs that have arrived upstairs! As always, the class went to music and then we spent the afternoon in the forest. We observed the seasonal changes taking place as we notice flowers shooting up and buds forming on bushes and trees. An early spring perhaps?
With Valentine’s Day coming up, we are planning a little class celebration on Thursday, February 11th. We will have a card exchange and the kids always love this. It is encouraged that children make a card for everyone in the class. Here is the list of names again:
