Thursday December 15

Today we talked about what setting means . We looked at the gingerbread stories that we have read and looked at the settings in the stories. We then used loose parts to create a setting from one of the stories. We used our gingerbread puppets we made to retell the story of the gingerbread man. 

We read, Snowball" and then looked at a math problem, "What can you make with 10 snowballs?" The children drew pictures and had to number the snowballs from 1-10. Ask your child what they made. 

AM Kindergarten went to the gym. PM Kindergarten got to watch the Winter Concert put on by the Grade 1-4 Choir group. Congratulations to the choir for all their hard work!

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.
