Kinder Korner News Nov.9th-13th

Posted: November 8, 2020

Hi everyone. I hope you had a very enjoyable weekend filled with many fun activities. Here is what is happening this week in Kindergarten.

Read your borrow-a-books and Rhyming "at" book. See if your child can generate other words that rhyme with "at". Review the Zoo-phonics letters\sounds and actions this week. We are focusing on letters a-i. Please return your books on Friday. 

In Math, we are learning about more, fewer and equal, when comparing groups of objects. Play math games at home, take turns rolling a dice, use lego pieces, pet shop toys, cars etc as counters. Make a group of objects for the number you rolled. Have your child tell you who has, more, fewer or equal objects. We are also working on identifying numbers tha tcome before or after a given number. Practice this at home by asking question like: what number do you say before 3 or what number do you say after 5? Students should answer quickly, notice if they have to count to get the answer. 

Library- We have library every Tuesday. Students must return their book in order to sign out a new one. Keep the book for the week

No School-Remembrance Day,Wednesday, November 11th-  On Remembrance Day, we honour those brave soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we may live freely in our beautiful, peaceful country,Canada. For our tomorrows they gave their today. Let us never forget. Please take time to remember them.                                                    

We have been learning of the importance of Remembrance Day and why we should wear a poppy. Each class will be collecting poppy donations which will be sent to the Canadian Legion.Thank you for your support.

Phys. Ed. Classes- We have gym class this week on Thursday and Friday. Wear comfortable clothes to run and exercise in.

Picture Retakes\Sibling pictures will be on Thursday, Nov.12, for those students who returned the signed form indicating they wanted these pictures taken. 

Dreambox and Squiggle Park online learning- I have sent home the codes and letters for both of these sites for you to explore when you have time. It is not expected that you complete a certain amount of lessons, they are meant as a fun way for your child to get extra learning in Math and Literacy.The children had a lot of fun exploring the games.These sites will also be used should we switch to on line learning. I have added the letters for both on our classroom page. Thanks for your support, everyone!!! 

Take care everyone! Smile and have a wonderful week in Kindergarten!!
