Today in kindergarten, we will continue talking about Thanksgiving. We are learning a song called "Thank You". Ask your child to sing it for you. It's to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Thanks You are the words we say
Not just on Thanksgiving Day
Thank You are two magic words
Say them loud so they are heard
Thank you are the words we say
We give thanks in many ways
We will also be having a science lesson today where we learn about the difference between wild animals and domesticated animals. When your child gets home, ask them What is Wild?
Both classes have computer lab today.
We are working on predicting what is going to happen in the books that we read together. Today, we are reading A Splendid Friend, Indeed by Suzanne Bloom.
For the Friday Award, I'm looking for someone who is a good thinker.
Have a wonderful long weekend. I have 3 Thanksgivings this weekend and will really enjoy the time with family and friends.

a mystery
I have 2 books that came with the September Scholastic order that I can't seem to place. It seems that no one ordered them. If you ordered If You Take A Mouse To School or A Poppy Is To Remember please let me know.

Our Day today
Today in kindergarten we will be working on several things. The mornig class has gym and they will be working on stair climbing. Lots of us still go down stairs one stair at a time instead of alternating legs and stairs. We will see if we can build their confidance and teach the skills necessary to get us all using the stairs like big boys and girls.
This months character trait is Responsibility. We have talked about what it means to be responsible - doing your share of the work and taking care of pets. Today we will talk about why it is important to put your toys away.
We will be finishing our badges today where we recognize our strengths - some people did theirs yesterday. We must think, print, colour and cut to make them. We will also try to find time to have the seniors who have returned their book bags read to me and (here's to being optimistic) try to have a few people work in their writing folders.
Every day is so busy!

The coming week
It's nice to be back and be over my cold. I so rarely get sick (thank goodness).
This week we are learning all about Thanksgiving. Also, the Social Justice Club is running a food drive for the food bank at the Birchmount Community Center. Please send in some non-perishable food if you can spare it.
Today, we are making collages. If you have anything at home that you would like to get rid of that would be good for collaging, please send it in. I know that after we made collages last year, they became a trend and we went through a lot of glue and materials.
In Gym, we are working on log rolls. They are harder than you think and take a lot of abdominal strength (I know from all my demonstrating).
Have a great day,
Miss Mynes

bits and bobs
Our Bear Wear sales are today and tomorrow. Feel free to bring you child to the gym before or after class to have a t-shirt or sweatshirt made with the J.G. Workman P.S. logo.
This week we have been learning about the days of the week. Talk to your child about what they have learned.
This months character trait theme is responsibility. We will be talking every day about what responsibility is. One afternoon student will be chosen as the most responsible and win the October Great Golden Bear award.
