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.

I can learn about the Green Zone

Today we learned that we have feelings and that we can feel different ones throughout the day. We learned about the different feelings zones. We call it "The Zones of Regulation". We focused on what it means to be in the green zone and talked about what puts us in this zone. We learned that this is an important zone to be in, especially at school because this is the zone that helps us be ready for learning. Ask me to share with you what puts me in the green zone. Some strategies that help us get into the green zone might be reading a book, getting a hug, playing with someone etc. In the next couple of weeks, we will be talking about each of the different zones to help us regulate our emotions. We learned that it is OK to be in ANY of the zones.  Reminders: *** If you are interested in volunteering in our classroom, we would love for you to come in whenever is most convenient for you!  If you have your police clearance and are interested, please email your child's teacher!...

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.  ·         ...
