June 17 - 21

Dear Kindergarten Families,

Thank you to Parent Council for the providing the money for us to enjoy the animals at the zoo with our buddies on Monday.

Thank you to all the parents who volunteered on Monday we are so grateful for your time and support.

On Thursday at 10:00 A.M. in the gym we will have a short assembly to celebrate our year in kindergarten together.  Parents are invited to come and celebrate with us.  Your child's belongings as well as the work they have done this year will be ready to be picked up after the 10:00 assembly. 

Activity Day will also be part of our day.  We will participate after our morning assembly with the entire school.   

Literacy:

We have been learning to write the letters on our morning message with a whiteboard marker.  

We continued to work on our animal research drawings and facts.  This week we drew penguins using art hub for kids.  We wrote some facts that we learned at the zoo about penguins and from books that we read together. 

Math:

This week in math we continued practicing non-standard measurement.  We used some coloured paper clips to measure the carpet and even went into the hall to measure how far our chain could go. 

We played with a variety of math activities this week, including geo boards, dominoes, and dice games.

Centres:

The doll house and Lego has helped to tell stories. The light table, marble works, Lincoln Logs, puzzles, paint and arts and crafts are other centres that the students enjoy visiting and exploring how to build structures and design their art work.  The foam letters have also been added and the cars and car mats are providing some new experiences for students to tell stories.

                                                                Buddies:

  We had an ice cream sundae party with our buddies this week and made buddy cards to thank them for a great year of learning and growing together.  We then had time to go outside and play at the park together.
