October 24 - 27 Dear Kindergarten Families, Thank you to everyone who donated a pumpkin. We have had lots of fun carving and digging out pumpkin "guts". We have used word like"slimy, sticky, ooey, gooey, stinking, sweet, stringy, bumpy, heavy, light, scary, funny, happy, creepy and many other descriptive words to tell about our experience as we designed faces and cleaned out each pumpkin. We had lots of orange hands! This week in Kindergarten we had some Halloween centres to explore. We also did some pumpkin carving and some Halloween Stations. Our house centre was changed into a Halloween store that gave out candy. We had to ring the doorbell and then roll a dice to determine how much candy we would get in our trick or treat bags. We counted out pompoms for candy. We made witch's brew with spiders, worms, bats and creepy crawlers. The recipe was printed out and we had to find the objects to put into the pot. Stations: We will continue these stations nex

October 17 -21 Dear Kindergarten Families, This week in kindergarten we were very fortunate to have in-line skating three times. The students were very keen and learned so much. We learned how to put on and take off our safety equipment. We learned how to stand and how to fall safely. Ask your child what they liked the most about in-line skating. Thank you for supporting our colour theme this month. It was wonderful to see all the purple colours on Monday and all the rainbow colours on Friday. This week we continued playing at a variety of centres. I can use my imagination and make many creative buildings. I can pretend to bring a variety of food items to my friends and adults in the room. I can tell you I had many delicious pretend cups of tea, hot chocolate and coffee from every student in kindergarten. Thank you everyone. We also continued working on our station rotations.

Kindergarten News September 26 - 29 This week in kindergarten we discussed why we wear orange shirts. The students were inquisitive and wondered why some children were treated differently and taken from their homes. Our Educational Assistant shared that she was raised in a different home as well. Thank you for supporting our learning and sending your child in an orange shirt this week. We were able to practice a sharing circle outdoors this week. The Sharing Circle story was one of our literature stories that discussed how to solve a problem when friends have disagreements. I can share my feelings in a sharing circle too. I can colour an orange shirt and share why I matter and why others matter. We continued learning with a variety of stations this week.
