Welcome to Kindergarten 2022-23

We had a very good "first" day of school. We listened to stories, played, looked for "Pete the Cat" and had gym class. We made head bands as well. We had a lot of fun! The day flew by but I did manage to take a few pictures :) I'm looking forward to a great year with these little sweethearts.

There are many notes to read through and information sheets to fill out. I will be sending home a note tomorrow regarding different classes we have and when, how to send in cafeteria orders, sending notes and so on.

Have a great evening!

LET IT SNOW!

We are so happy to be back together and are having "SNOW" much fun!

We did a fun little science experiment yesterday to see how fast we could make snow melt using only a popsicle stick and their breath/hands. Some tried setting it near the heater and on the windowsill in the sun. We learned that the fastest way to melt the snow was to stir it very quickly with the popsicle stick.

Today I collected a jar of snow and they estimated how much water would be in the jar after it melted. We learned that there wasn’t very much compared to the original amount of snow. Two of my littles were right on though!

Tomorrow we will try melting snow with different liquids.

Snow Much Fun!

Back to School Monday!!!!

Hi families!

I am so happy to be able to say these words for the first time since Christmas break…”I’ll see you on Monday!” I am thrilled to be able to see the children again. A writing prompt for today (if you need one) could be about what they are looking forward to doing at school. Please work on your last couple of pages in your packets and return completed work. Feel free to keep BUMP and any other math or literacy game home to play at another time. Roll and read sight words is a good one to have at home as well. Just to change up your homework routine.

I’ll see your babies on Monday. Please have extra masks packed in their bookbags and check to make sure they fit properly. The reusable ones tend to stretch out after multiple washes.

Thank you.

Home Learning ~ January 27

Good morning and happy Thursday!

Today I'd like you to listen to a story about mittens. It's also a story about kindness. It's called: The Mitten Tree. After listening, imagine you are a character in this story... what kind of mittens you would like the lady to knit for you? Would you wish for stripes? A pattern? Heart mittens? Using the mittens in your home learning pack, design your very own pair of mittens. Please send me a picture of your mittens. I can't wait to see them!

Writing today could be about your mitten. What does it look like? What colours did you choose?

Please review your sight words and practice reading your books.

If you haven't completed the "Roll and Cover 1 Less", try that today.

It's great practice to roll and name the number that is 1 less or 1 more.

I am hopeful that we will return to in person learning on Monday. Fingers and toes are crossed. Take Care and enjoy your day everyone. Hugs to your little one!

Wednesday January 26~Home Learning

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. I hope is going well with your new packets and that the children are working hard. :)

If you need an idea for writing today, ask your child to choose one of their stuffed toys. The first sentence will tell what the stuffy is. Then they can write 2 describing sentences. The last sentence can tell how they feel about their stuffie. For example: This is my monkey. It is brown and black. It is very soft. I love my monkey. I used many sight words in my example. Those words should be spelled properly when your child writes. The rest will be written by stretching out the word and recording the sounds they hear. Praise all efforts. If you'd like, send me a picture of your child's writing today :)

On Wednesday at school, we focus on wellness so I am sharing a video you can play for your little one.

If you haven't played "Snowy Bump" try it today!

Reach out if you need me. Take care.
