March 3rd Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone, we have a couple busy weeks ahead! Please be sure to check the planner bag for notices and to read the dates below.
This week on Monday we continued working on our printing (z) and tried to use proper pencil grip (this can be hard!). In art, we talked about warm colours, painted and went to Music class.
Tuesday, we played “Treasure Island” in the gym. We wrapped up our measurement unit with a fun body measurement activity. We continued working on syllables in our Oral Language groups. Ask your child to clap out their name for you. Later we went on a nature scavenger hunt.
On Wednesday the class did a fun treasure chest activity and went to another Whole School Meeting. Mr. Lightfoot’s class taught everyone the Chicken Dance! Later the class went out for nature studies and then we practiced reading 3 letter words. There was a surprise fire “drill” and we were all a little soggy after waiting in the rain for the fire marshal to come turn off the alarm. Luckily it was the end of the day and we already had our jackets on!
Thursday was a half-day to accommodate the parent-teaching meetings. We worked on our vowel sounds and had free choice in the gym. I had to provide a lot of extra snack to kids. For the future, we always have 2 eating times before noon.
Next week will be a busy 5-day week. Please return the pizza order form and field trip slip if you haven't already done so.
We will be having a Pizza Day on Thursday, March 10. Please send in order forms by Monday.
We will be going on a fun field trip to Ruckle Farm! We are all very excited to learn more about the farm and see the animals. Thanks to Vaughn’s family for being so accommodating. Permission slips went home today (Thursday).
