Knowledge Building Circle


Dear Mom and Dad of PM kindergarten:

We used our beautiful stuff collection to finish up our math dot art! Ask me to tell you what items I put on it.

We worked with Mrs. Southworth and Mrs. Jones today. Ask me to tell you the story Mrs. Southworth told us about that involved polar bears! 

We learned about what a Knowledge Building Circle (KBC) was. Ask me to tell you what we talked about in a big classroom circle. This is a time for our class to come together and share our thoughts and wonders. During KBC I am not talking unless I have the ball. When I have something to share I put my hand in the circle (not put my hand up) to contribute to the circle.

Question of the day: What was your favorite activity at school today?

Love,
Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

As I begin to wear my snow pants, gloves toques, scarves etc. please help me be independent by letting me put on all these things by myself. Thank you for your support.

Parents please make sure all of your child’s belongings are LABELED. There are many items that are duplicates in our classroom and it is very helpful when things are labeled so that they can be returned to the rightful owner. Thank you for your help with this.

Please look to the left column of this blog page to see our blog archive. Click on NOVEMBER 10 to access your child's "families helping families" blog. Your child brought home a letter about FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES. This is a special school project that we have done each year. Please find your child’s teacher’s BLOG POST and you can comment on what you will be able to bring. This will allow other parents to see what is still needed. Thank you so much for your support. Please note (Mrs Ly’s AM and PM class are supporting ONE big family so there is only one blog post for both AM and PM classes.
