Tuesday November 15

We had a fun filled day today. We started with arrival activities. 

We read, "Ten Black Dots" and talked about what we could make out of dots. In our visual journal, we used sharpies and colourful dots to make a picture.

We played our Power of Ten math game with a partner. 

We read, "Our Class Is A Family" and talked about ways that our class is like a family. We did our writing journals and drew a picture about what is special in our class. The children drew their pictures and wrote our class in their books. 

Mrs. Conley's class went to the fire station and had a fantastic time. The children learned about fire safety and got to see all the equipment outside of the truck and on the inside. The children got to sit in the drivers' seat. They also talked about all the protective gear a firefighter wears and one of the firefighters put on all his gear to show us. Ask your child about their favourite part of the visit. 


Mrs. Mask's AM class visits on Thursday the 17th and Mrs. Mask's PM class visits on Monday the 21st.

Tomorrow is Library Book exchange. Please return your books.  

Family Photos

We have been talking about our families at school.  If you are able to send us a family photo of your family that we can hang on a bulletin board at school we would appreciate it.  We will hang up any family photos we get at school in our display and return the photos to you in early December.  Many thanks for considering our request. We will continue to explore how families come in many different shapes and sizes.

Today was a great day at school.  We learned about the letter N. We read " The Nicest Newt" and had to find all the words that began with N. We learned the jolly phonics song for N and practiced the actions for all the letters we have been learning. (S, A, T, I, P, N) We practiced printing the letter N in our printing journals. The AM classes had gym and music.  Please ask your child what they did. PM class went to gym and did stations to practice skills such as catching, throwing, kicking and target practice.  We are very lucky to have some new centers to play with!  Thank you to the casino funds for allowing us to purchase the new toys.  The kinders loved playing the new cooperative game "Hoot Owl Hoot" and playing with the magnatiles.
