 This Week in Kindergarten

Literacy 
Letter Qq - Quilt 


We enjoyed reading the story "The Quilt" by Tony Johnson. Friends shared that some of them also have quilts that were made for them by special people, often relatives and family friends. After reading the story about Abigails quilt, students were given the task of designing their own unique quilt. Their quilts are made up of unique squares that reflect their likes, special places and important people.

My Community - Map

 In Social Studies we had big conversations about the word "community". As individuals we are part of many communities. Our first community is typically our family, then our school and other groups we are part of. We started talking about our physical community of Calgary and the neighbourhoods we live in. Kindergarten friends brain stormed important features of a community which they added to their community map. Next we will be exploring the role of  community helpers, the people who work in our communities.

        This Week in Kindergarten   Welcome back! I hope everyone had an enjoyable winter break with many memories made. 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. We have worked on identifying, creating and extending simple and increasingly more complex patterns. Opportunities for students to engage with, and deepen their understanding of patterning have been integrated into shared stories, instruction time and free choice centers.  December 9th:  December 10th:  December 11th: December 12th: Book Exchange/ Spirit of ...
