January 13th 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 being back at school and are likely pretty tired out after our days!
On Monday the students were very excited to be back at school. We started working on basketball skill building activities in the gym and continued with our printing practice. Later we made cute snow-person names and went to Music class. The highlight of our day was making a snow volcano during outside time!
Tuesday, we worked on our penguin books and started back up with our Oral Language Groups (focus is rhyming). Later the kids went to the library and came home with a fun library reading bingo challenge! The snow was still around and we went on a winter scavenger hunt in the forest.
Wednesday was another very wet day! We practiced counting and recognizing numbers through a domino/number matching game. We also talked about the months in the year and focused in on what happens in winter during writing. We started learning about trees in the afternoon.
On Thursday we finished off our penguin books, read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett and made mitten art. We followed this theme in math and then practiced our reading. In the afternoon, Quinten led us to the forest and we had fun playing fir cone games.
Next week is ‘Mm’ week for Show and Tell.
It was a great first week back. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Warmly,
Ara Van Riel and Ms. Janice
