Kindergarten News

We had a great day yesterday full of many engaging activities.  We have been taking apart and exploring an old television.  The kids are very interested in using screwdrivers and looking at all the different parts inside the TV.   We have some young engineers in the making!

Our letters of the week are "sh".  We got creative with the sound that this makes and made up a song... it also helps keep us quiet in the halls!
Our word of the week is "she". The kids eagerly wrote sentences in their journals and did a great job.  Their writing skills are developing so well.
Please continue to point out our weekly letters and words during nightly reading.  It is very beneficial in helping to teach your child to read.
Please remember to send back the Snuggle Folders every Friday (senior students only).  We pass each book on to other students so we really need them back by Friday.

In Math, we have been looking at coins and their value.  We will continue to explore money in the weeks to come.

Yesterday we read a book about a naughty leprechaun.  We will be making leprechaun traps on Thursday to bring home over the March Break.  If you have any empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls that you are getting rid of, we would love to use them in the classroom.

With the wet weather fast approaching, please ensure that your child has a few extra pairs of socks as well as a full set of extra clothes (including underwear).

Here are some pictures from yesterday!
