 This Week in Kindergarten

Literacy 

                          ABC… We Did It! 🎉

What a wonderful milestone! Our kindergarteners have officially finished learning all the letters of the alphabet! From A for apple to Z for zebra, they've explored each letter with songs, stories, crafts, and lots of hands-on fun.

It's been an exciting journey watching them recognize letters, learn their sounds, and start putting them together to form words. This is more than just finishing the ABCs — it's the next step in their reading and writing adventures!

Numeracy 

                              
                     

This week, our kindergarteners became little data collectors as they explored the world of graphs and polls with a fun class activity — finding out their classmates' favourite fruit!

With clipboards and tally marks in hand, they walked around the room asking their friends, "What’s your favourite fruit?" It was a great way to practice speaking, listening, counting, and even early math skills like comparing numbers.

Field Trip



Our kindergarten class had an enchanting field trip to the Little Red Reading House in Inglewood, a cozy, two-storey heritage home brimming with books and imagination. Designed to inspire a love of reading, the house offers themed rooms, quiet reading nooks, and even a creative Maker Space. Each child was delighted to pick out a free book to take home, fostering a sense of ownership and excitement about reading.

        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.
