             This Week in Kindergarten 

                Literacy & Wellness  

 


Identifying how we are feeling is the first step in learning strategies and tools to help us cope when are emotions are making us react a certain way. We have been reading the series "When I'm Feeling..." by Trace Moroney as our weekly journal response stories. Following each reading, we discuss how our bodies feel when we are experience each emotion, the way our bodies look to others, what triggers those emotions and tools and strategies we can use to re-set out bodies. 


Numeracy 
Patterning 

 

We have begun our work with identifying, creating and extending patterns! This week we read the story Pitter Pattern as an introduction to the concept of patterns. We quickly realized that patterns are all around us! Can your child point out a pattern in your home? outside?

Next week in Kindergarten:

It was nice to get back into routines this week.              .   We welcomed the return to school and the new calendar year with stories, art and writing. We read the story "Squirrel's New Years Resolution". We talked about what resolution (personal goal) students would like to achieve this year. We painted fireworks to honour some of the traditions people have around the beginning of the new year. There were so many beautiful bursts of colour!                  Grade 3 Buddies    We spent Friday morning with our Buddy class, Mrs. Jackson's Grade 3 friends. Buddies engaged in a math and drawing activity. They rolled dice to create a variety of different looking monsters. Some friends noticed how many times they rolled the same body parts, "I rol...

                This Week in Kindergarten                      Literacy Literacy is everywhere in Kindergarten! Our morning soft entry activities range from 'Book Look' to 'Printing Practice'. Entry activities give students a familiar task to engage in as they arrive at school. These are tasks they can complete independently and give them a chance to connect with peers at the same time.               Numeracy- Patterns  Kindergarten friends have continued their work with patterns.
