a little about today

Today, Mrs. McGrath has Easter activities so I will be keeping it simple by sticking with our routines - reading with seniors, writing folders and math folders.  We have computer lab at 1pm and a Great Golden Bear assembly at 2:15pm.

Next week, I plan to focus on the book Make Way for Ducklings.  We will also visit Albert Campbell Library on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful long weekend.  I know I am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

a little about today

Today, we continue our Little Red Hen unit.  We will make a story pyramid of the story (mapping title, setting, characters and plot).  We will also learn about the number 10 (our new math unit will start next week).  I will read with the seniors and the students will writing in their writing folders and practice the number 10 in their math folders.  the children see Miss McGregor for music and then again for physical education.

Have a great day!

Jump frog jump

We loved the book Jump, Frog, Jump and this game is the prefect follow up. We are learning about colours, turn taking, improving our fine motor skills and much more. Ne'er mind that it is really fun.

Science

There is no better way to learn science concepts than the water table. The higher you pour from, the faster the water goes.

thanks!

Thank you to all the parents that are following the school rules and staying outside while waiting for your child to start school.  Our hallway is less congested and the children are learning to be independent in caring for their belongings as well as dressing and undressing more independently.  I know it can be shocking that your small child can do it alone but they can.  Show them you believe in them and their abilities by allowing them to take care of themselves.  I am always there to help when they ask but asking for help is another way to take responsibility for themselves.  Kindergarten is the time when children start becoming responsible for themselves and rely less on their parents to do eveything for them.  Evn toddlers can learn to dress and undress themselves.  Believe in your child and allow them to develop the wonderful feeling of pride you get when you reliaze you can do it yourself.  It feels great!

Have a great weekend and I will see you all on Monday,

Drama centre

Caring for children is another important skill to practice. We pretend we are parents and care for our babies just like you do at home.

Making meatballs

Teamwork is an important skill that the children will use for the rest of their lives. Almost every job requires working in a team.
