Kk Kk Kk

Dear Mom and Dad:

We have been learning some new songs in kindergarten. Here is a song about the different seasons. Please click on the link and sing it with me!

4 Seasons Song

Today we practiced making the “k” song. We learned that this is a silent sound. I know this because when I put my fingers to my throat and say the sound, my throat does not vibrate. Ask me to draw a K in the air. As we were brainstorming words that start with K, we began to realize that the letter C also makes the same sound! This is so tricky!

Question of the day: Post on the blog words that start with K.

Love,

Kindergarten 

Seasonal Changes

Dear mom and dad:

Ask me to tell you what is happening outside to the animals, the weather, people, plants! 

We began our investigation about the changes that occur. We learned that there are 4 seasons in a year. Ask me to name them.

Question of the day: post on the blog what changes you have observed recently in nature.

Love,

Kindergarten 

Welcome back

Dear Mom and Dad:

Welcome back!! Our teachers were very proud of us today as we still remembered  all of our daily routines that we learned. We talked about how it is a new year. According to our day count, I have been in kindergarten for 71 days!

We were very eager to share our stories and adventures from the holidays. Some of us went somewhere hot, some of us went skating or skiing, some of us relaxed at home warm in our beds, some of us went to the mountains. I wrote in my writing journal today. Ask me to tell you what I chose to draw and write about. 

Ask me to tell you about what we did in gym today. 

Question of the day: post in the blog what new centres we had today?

Love,

Kindergarten

Gingerbread Order

Dear Mom and Dad:

We made our order for our gingerbread decorating tomorrow. I had to think about what color icing I will want, how many Smarties, jube jubes and chocolate chips. I had to write the number and then draw it on the gingerbread diagram. Ask me to tell you what color icing I will use.

It has been busy in kindergarten this week! Only one more sleep and then it’s the winter break!

PM: We had caroling this afternoon!

Pajama Day is tomorrow! 

Question of the day: If my gingerbread man has:

2 jubejubes

1 chocolate chip

3 smarties

How many candies total?

Special Gift

Dear Mom and Dad:

Only 2 days left until the holidays! We have been busy as usual in kindergarten.

This week I will be bringing home a special gift for you. It is wrapped! You can wait until Christmas and put it under our the tree or open it whenever you want. Mrs. Monteith, our student teacher came up with this special project and has guided me through this. I hope you LOVE it!

AM kindergarten had caroling this morning and we listened to the grade ¾ tone chime group. We wrote in our journals today starting with the sentence: Dear Sparkle. I continue to work on drawing detailed pictures and labeling my pictures.

PM kindergarten had guest teachers today. Ask me to tell you what we did in our visual journals.

Inside Out

Dear Mom and Dad of AM kindergarten:

The AM students watched the movie Inside Out today. We have been looking at the zones of regulation and my teachers are impressed at our understanding of our own and others’ feelings. The Zones of Regulation is a school wide understanding and I have been learning all about the different tools I can use to help stay or move to the green zone (happy).

A HUGE Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Families Helping Families project. The gifts were delivered to the school where the families attend. As a school we loaded over 12 vehicles jammed packed! You have all made a less fortunate family extremely grateful this holiday season.

Question of the day: Post on the blog what Sparkle our elf was doing today!

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

Love,
