Busy, busy, busy during this month after report cards

After all the report cards have been handed and interviews done, it is hard to believe we are entering the second term of the reporting year of our Kindergarten Journey. Over the next several weeks, your child will be involved in a variety of activities:
  • practice of the holiday concert on December 16 at 9 AM (mark your calendars! Our class parents will be helping in the preparation and feel free to ask them if they need help)
  • learning about the different kinds of shapes via art, math, science and other subjects within the program
  • counting and sorting buttons and coloured blocks
  • reciting colour poems and songs with a focus on rhyming words and the identification of some basic sight words
  • playing counting games that focus on numbers from 1 to 10, then 11 to 20
Our Art Centre has focused on making art that is about shapes (e.g., ice cream). The Reading Centre will focus on books about colours and shapes. Our Science Centre w will focus on water after our successful scientist in the school, Water Is Fun (thank you to Andrea F. (Ayrianna's Mom), Jen S. (Jake's Mom), Linda (Cynthia's Mom), Kim (Parker's Mom), Parmis (a school volunteer)).

Our letters of the month are the letters 'A' and 'T'. Let's focus on the sounds that these letters make. We are going to follow this up learning words in the -at family (e.g., cat, mat) in order to focus on phonics and understanding the importance of using letters to create simple words.

Let's keep circulating our classroom books because believe it or not, we are making a third one!

Enjoy!
