Today was Pink Shirt Day. We watched a video about Pink Shirt Day and talked about how we can show kindness to everyone. We read, "How to Grow A Friend" and drew a picture about how to be a good friend to others. We drew our pictures on a petal and made it into a big flower. 

We started our Winter Booklets. We are doing Eric Carle inspired art by using paper we sponge painted to create our illustrations. Today we wrote "I see a hat." and made a hat out of the paper we made.

AM Kindergarten had music and PM Kindergarten went to an assembly hosted by the Grade 1/2 Cox and Disher classes. 

We practiced sounding out 3 letter words (CVC- consonant vowel consonant) as we are almost finished going through the alphabet and the sounds that the letters make. 

PM Kindergarten read, "I Can Do Hard Things" and we talked about giving ourselves affirmations when things get hard. We practiced saying this out loud and talked about trying new things and how that can feel.
