a bit about tomorrow

Tomorrow we has physical education.  Please be sure your child has running shoes at school so they can participate safely.  In the gym, we will be working on circle games - games that happen in a circle formation.

In Mathematics, we will be making a Pictograph about shoes.  The students will learn how to plot information on a graph as well as read information from a graph.

Have a nice evening,

Professional Activity Day

This Friday is a professional activity day.  There is no school for students.  Teachers will be writing their report cards on this day.  In February, the junior kindergarten students will receive a written report called the Junior Kindergarten Summary.  The parents of seniors will be given the opportunity to have an interview.  The interview times will be sent home on the same day as the report cards.  I am very flexible with when we have an interview and you have the option of  declining the interview or a phone interview as well.  Well, I should get to writing those reports.

The News Your Children Share

Here is a sample of the things your children share during Sharing Time.

One day, my mom bought me a plant and a barbie.
When my dad bought me a Beyblade.
On Sunday, my dad bought me a barbie.
One day, my mom bought me a pink barbie.
One, day when I was shopping with my dad, he got me a Beyblade game for the Wii.
One day I got a dog.
One day, my dad bring me some toys.
My sister is going to bring me to Phisone's house.

Sharing time is a time to tell our classmates about an interesting experience we have had.  When you do something interesting with your child, talk to them about it so they can be prepared to talk about it at sharing time.

New Math Unit

This week we will begin a math unit on data relationships.  The children will learn to collect objects or data and make representations of their observations, using concrete graphs.  They will also learn to respond to and pose questions about data collection and graphs.

I will be sending home a letter of fun ways to support your child's learning at home.

Enjoy the snowy day!

Math

Right now, in Math, we are working on a data management and probability unit.  In kindergarten that means sorting.  We are looking at different attributes (colour, size, texture, shape etc.).  Ask your child how things are the same and different.  That will help them focus on objects attributes.

Enjoy the fresh snow,
