 O ctober 31-November  4  Dear Kindergarten Families, Thank you for sharing your adorable and clever costumes.  We were able to share our costumes with the entire school at our Halloween Parade in the gym.  All the classes in our school also shared their costumes.  It was a lot of fun.  We also had a chance to visit our buddies in their classroom upstairs on Friday and they read their stories that they wrote about Halloween.  We even had a chance to play some computer games with our buddies. This week in Kindergarten we had new centres to explore.  We added foam numbers and letters to our block centre.  We changed our Haunted House centre into a house centre adding dolls from a variety of nations.  We are learning how to dress, feed and take care of our dolls in the house centre.  The light table, play doh, sand, tub toys and the Smart Board are still part of our centre rotations.                       .                                                                               Sta
