Hi everyone! Well Spring arrived in big splash. It's hard to believe that Spring has sprung.I hope you had a fun weekend despite the messy weather. We had a super fun day on Friday with Mr. Galley and the children loved watching the primary teachers get a pie in the face. Lucky for the teachers the pie was very YUMMY! A pie was worth it for the great job the primary students did raising the most money in our school fundraiser. Awesome job!!

We have a busy week in Kindergarten:

Read your Borrow-A-Book- Read and be read to each night. This week you have a little  book on Penguins and two levelled text. As you read; point to each word, use the pictures for cues, say the beginning letter sound and sound out all letters in an unknown word, identify sight words you know. Please read 1 or 2 books each night and fill in the reading log.Return all borrow-a-books to class on Thursday.

Rock Star Sight Words- Keep up the great work with practicing your sight words this week.Once you know the words quickly, return it to class and I will check to no school, this Tuesday, March 22nd, for our Kinderegarten students only. We will be having On My Way To K for the Kindergarten students who will be starting school in September. 

No School for Students-Friday, March 22nd. This is a PD day for Teachers.

No Library this week- You can keep your book until next week.

Phys.Ed.-We have gym classes on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Writng- Students will have 2 writing sheets in their folder so they can write about something they do on Tuesday and Friday this week. Draw a good detailed picture.Use your sight word sheets to help write your sentence. Be sure to start your sentence with a capital letter,spaces between words,sound out any unknown words and end your sentence with a period. Return your sheets to school.                                                                                                        Math-complete the St. Patricks "I Spy" sheet on Tuesday and return to class on Friday. Look for and colour each item on the page. Count how many you found and print the numeral in the box.                                                                                                          Outside-The playground is certainly a lot wetter and muddier.

Writing-For todays writing ,can you follow the pattern in your borrow-a-book and write a new page for your book? Draw a detailed picture. Start your sentence, the same way the other sentences begin in your book. Use your sight words and sound out unknown words. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Math- Count forwards and backwards 0-10 and 10-0. Review your number facts of 6 by playing this card game, Magic 6's.Use only cards 1-6. Turn all cards face down. Players take turns turning over 2 cards, if the cards total 6,(1 and 5,2 and 4,3 and 3) the player keeps the cards, if the cards don't make 6, turn the cards face down again. The next player takes a turn. If one of the two cards you turn over is a 6, they yell Magic 6, keep that card and choose another card to try and match with the one you have in your hand.Once all the cards have been turned over the player with the most pairs and 6's win. On a piece of paper print your number pairs for 6, ex 1 and 5 is 6, 0 and 6 is 6.Have fun!!

Home Learning Packet- Complete the sight word 'like" page today. Trace, print, colour, fill in the blanks, circle the word and build the word. On the back of your page use the word like in a sentence.

"No Two Snowflakes" by, Sheree Fitch. Listen to this read aloud of the story https://youtu.be/ftMVN7uHvPc.  Yesterdays read aloud was more of a book and talk review, and didnt actually read the whole story.Sorry about that, I am sure you will enjoy this story.

Art-Continue to work on your snowflake projects.Watch this video that explains how snowflakes are formed.https://youtu.be/-M48RfaWcWA?t=1. Remember to send a picture of your special snowflake. 

Get up and move- be sure to take breaks throughout the day to stretch and move your body. Do your count to 100 exercises, dance, count the steps you take from the kitchen to the living room, or to your bedroom, basement etc. If you can go outside and get some fresh air, go for a wolk around your home,can you see, hear, smell or touch anything unique, like ice crystals on the trees or in the snow.

Have a fantastic Thursday everyone. Keep up the great work Kinders!! Take care! Smiles and Hugs!! You are missed!

Kinder Korner Wednesday Jan. 19th

Wonderful Wednesday Wishes to my little Kinders!! Another very cold morning.Hopefully it will warm up so you can get outside to play.

Here is what I would like for you to work on today;

Borrow-A-Book- Read one of your books today. Point to each word as you read,look at the pictures for cues,sound out any unknown words, look for sight words you know. 

Math- Count from 0-10 and 10-0.As you count hop forward and hopbackwards when you count backwards. We are working on the number 6. Listen to the Jack Hartman song, "I can say my number pairs 6", https://youtu.be/PIMK8bHoH68?t=3. Now,show what you learned. Using the sheet attached,(build a snowman 6) or use any paper from home. Roll a dice print the number you rolled in the first snowman's first snowball. How many more do you need to make 6? Print that number in the snowman's second snowball.Roll the dice until you have all the number pairs for 6. 

Sight Words- Continue to review your sight words today. Play the Brrr, or  "Read for Speed" sight word gsme.

Writing- Today, please write using this topic, what can you do in the snow? Draw a detailed picture of what you can do in the snow. Start your sentence, "In the snow I can..... use your sight words and names you know and sound out unknown words. Read your sentence to someone.

Home Learning Packet- Practice your sight words (like, see,can,we,my,the,look) by doing the colour by sight word picture page.Take your time with colouring.Do the snowflake beginning letter sound sheet.Look at the picture in the snowflake,say the word, print the beginnning letter sound you hear.For a challenge, try and print the middle and ending letter sounds you hear. 

Outdoor Fun-It is suppose to snow today and tomorrow ,so if it warms up and you are outside playing, see if you can catch some snowflakes on your mittens. It's neat to look at snowflakes on a coloured piece of paper.Look closely, you may be able to count how many sides a snowflake has.Here is a hint,it's the number we were making today.Did you know that no two snaowfakes are alike?Each snowflake is unique, just like you!  Can you catch snowflakes on your tongue?Have fum! Check out this book by Sheree Fitch, "No Two Snowflakes". Sheree is one of my favourite authors, she lives in Nova Scotia. Sheree has written a lot of books and poems. We were very lucky at Nelson Rural when Sheree came to our school for a visit.It was awesome! I hope you enjoy her book! https://youtu.be/dDzo_IHcqHs?t=1

Art- Now that you have explored snowflakes, design your own snowflake.Remember, no 2 snowflakes are alike, so be creative, use any material you have at home. paint, crayons yarn, styrofoam, sticks etc.Whenever you get your project complete,please be sure to send me a picture of your special snowflake. I will make one too, and we can display them on our class page. 

Enjoy your Wednesday, Kinders!! Reach out if I can help in anyway. Take care!Smiles and Hugs!! I sure do miss you!
