Today we talked about who is in our family.  We counted the number of people that live in our house and drew a picture of them in our visual journals.  We read Todd Parr's family book to get some ideas for our pictures!  Please ask me about my picture. This week we focused on the letter M - Please practice printing the letter M with me!  We also brainstormed all the different words that start with M.  See if you can find things around the house that start with M! ***Today you will notice that the PM Kindergarten students did not come home with a library book.  The librarian was away,  so we will take out new books next week - We apologize for the inconvenience!

We have been so exctied about reading books and seeing ourselves as readers. We learned that reading also means listening to stories, reading pictures and retelling stories. Today we read a book by Todd Parr called "Reading Makes Me Feel Good". We then created bookmarks that we took home so that we can continue to read and log our minutes at home for the read-a-thon. Please make note of all the special dates coming up! Alien-inline Skating An email was sent out through our school messenger about Inline skating.

We are learning about all the different shapes. Today we took a closer look at a square. We realized that squares are everywhere. I can find squares at home and all around me. Ask me to draw a square in the air. We learned that it has 4 sides and 4 corners. In our visual journals, we drew 3 squares and turned them into something else. A square can be a: dice, ice cube, slice of bread, a chessboard and more.   Reminders:   - AM kindergarten attends this Friday. -Gym is OUTSIDE this week - please dress appropriately! We had several students without any gloves/mittens and toques today.  Kindergarten Winter Celebration Performances Kindergarten students will be having mini concerts during the day on Wednesday, Dec. 20 ·         The morning classes will perform in the gym at 10:30am ·         The afternoon classes will perform at 2:15pm.  ·         ...
