Butterflies and Symmetry

Dear Mom and Dad:

Ask me to tell you about Herman the caterpillar!!!! So exciting J

Today we worked on drawing a butterfly. Ask me to tell you what “symmetry” means. This is a big math word! I tried my best to make my butterfly symmetrical. I then traced my butterfly so that I had 3 butterflies total that looked exactly the same. We will be creating an art project based on the artist Andy Warhol with these drawings.

Ask me to tell you about the equipment we used in gym today.

Question of the day: What did you do in gym today?

Love,

Dear Mom and Dad of AM kindergarten:

Mrs. Dei Cont was away today. She was at her daughter’s grade 12 convocation! Congrats to Alex!

Ask me to tell you who Barbra Reid is! We read her story “Picture a Tree” and noticed her amazing art work. We learned that she uses something called plasticine to create her art.

Today we explored this material with many different tools. Ask me to tell you all the different things I tried to make! This will help us when we do our art project next week.

We will be e-mailing Barbra Reid throughout our inquiry of her books, please post on the blog.

Question of the day: What wonders do you have for Barbra Reid?

Have a great weekend!



Love,

Kindergarten Rocks

Where: Sibblad Meadows Pond, Kananaskis Country
When: Friday May 27 @ 2:30pm

Dear Mom and Dad:

The blog will be short and sweet tonight as the kindie teachers have the kindergarten orientation tonight for parents bringing their child to kindergarten next year! Our classes put together a short video about how we felt on the first day of kindergarten and tips for parents and students.

The trout release is tomorrow after school hours! Please take a look at the invitation. This is not a school field trip and it is optional. There is no supervision there, children will need to be supervised by their parents at all times.

AM class: We had guest teachers today. Ask me to tell you what games I played with Mrs. Southworth and Mrs. Quilley.

PM class: Ask me to tell you what we drew in our visual journals.

Question of the day: What would you tell someone who is starting kindergarten for the first time?

Love,

Kindergarten
