Butterflies and Andy Warhol

Dear Mom and Dad:

Ask me to tell you what is happening with Herman. We are patiently waiting and he is patiently waiting to become a beautiful butterfly.

AM class: We worked with our guest teachers today and drew and labeled a butterfly. Ask me to tell you all the parts I know of a butterfly.  Ask me to tell you about a funny book Mrs. Dei Cont read to us this morning. It was called “The Book with No Pictures”

PM class: Ask me who Andy Warhol is and what his art looks like? I am working on an art project using his technique.

Ask me to find numbers 6,7,8,9,10 around the house. I should know what these numbers look like. Today I did a math assessment that demonstrated my learning of numbers 6-10. I used stickers and drew pictures to represent these numbers.

Question of the day: What was your favorite part of the day today and why? (don’t forget to use the word because (Mrs,. Ly’s favorite word))

Love,

Kindergarten

Dear Mom and Dad:

Question of the day: What kind of bird did we draw today?

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?

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.
