March 4th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone, one more week to go until Spring Break!
This week on Monday we continued working on our writing, with the focus of going back and adding on to existing stories. I Can’t wait for you to see the work these kids are turning out! We also practiced printing the letter ‘p’ and got creative in art. The kids took the lead on making spring flower pictures however they felt, and it was great to see the variety of styles.
Tuesday, we used the sense of smell to inspire a memory for our writing. We also continued our work on syllables in our oral language groups and the class went to Music.
On Wednesday Mrs. Lamirand led the class in a mini lesson on using all of the senses to communicate meaning in our writing. We also started conferencing and setting writing goals. In math, the kids practiced adding one more to numbers and then went to the library. Later we talked about how our bodies are our own in the C.A.R.E. kit lesson. In the forest, the class played a fun game and enjoyed the smells of spring.
Thursday was a half-day to accommodate the parent-teaching meetings. We practiced adding more colour to our pictures during our writing lesson, and worked on taking one number away (one less) in math. It was also Eva’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Eva!
Next week will be a busy last week before the break! Please return all library books.
We will be having a Pizza Day on Thursday, March 11. Please send in order forms by Monday. As the other classes eat lunch after we normally do, please send enough other snacks to last your child 2 eating breaks.
Thursday will also be crazy hair day and 100’s day! Wow!
To celebrate 100’s day, your child is invited to bring in a collection of 100 items (buttons, stickers, beads, beans, gems etc.) in a jar or other display case. It’s fun to see the number 100 visually in different ways!
Important dates to remember:
March 11 Pizza Day, Crazy Hair Day, 100’s Day!
March 12 Spring Break begins!
March 29 School back in session
