Copperfield Kindergarten 2023-2024

This week we have been working hard at learning a brand new skill, in-line skating! My teachers are so proud of me and and you should be too. We learned that at the beginning we will fall.....A LOT. Every single one of us gave it a try and kept picking ourselves up. Ask me to show you what the ready position is. We even learned how to fall properly because that will happen. We are learning that if we keep trying our best, we can do hard and scary things. A HUGE thank you to all of our adult volunteers that helped us put on and take off our gear.  Have a wonderful spring break!

We have been learning all about what it means to belong and one of the ways we can feel a sense of belonging is to be a good friend. We brainstormed words such as: kind, share, laugh, enjoying. We also talked about how we feel when we are with a friend.  Alien-inline Skating *Please have your child bring a helmet labelled with their name on it if they have one on their skate days.

We got our photos done today, it will be neat to compare them to our first photos we took at the beginning of the year. I can see how much I've grown!

In October we started a science experiment with Jack the pumpkin to see what would happen if we let him in the jar.  Here is a reminder of what he used to look like! Over the past few months, we used our sense of sight to observe that Jack began decomposing and one day he even started to sprout!  We talked about how it was interesting that we never watered Jack, but he was still able to grow with the water that was already inside the jar!  Here is a picture of what Jack looks like now: In our visual journals we recorded our observations and labelled our pictures.   Alien-inline Skating These are our skating days: Ly AM : Mon Mar 18, Wed Mar 20, Wed Apr 3 Norrie AM : Tues Mar 19, Wed Mar 20, Tues Apr 2 Ly PM : Wed Mar 20, Wed Apr 3, Fri Apr 5 Chan PM : Tues Mar 19, Tues Apr 2, Thurs Apr 4 Inline Skating Form Read a Thon upcoming dates: ** Continue getting sponsors and tracking the minutes you have read!

Today we talked about how we develop a sense of belonging in nature through a few different ways.  We can take care of nature, plant trees, go on hikes and find a spot to sit outside to use our 5 senses to experience all that is around us.  We read "Berry Song" and talked about where in nature we feel most connected to.  Please ask me about the picture that I drew in my visual journal! We also had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather by going on a nature walk!

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.

We have been learning about belonging and being able to identify different feelings and emotions. Today we focused on having a good relationship with our own bodies. I learned that my body belongs to me and I can use my words to tell people when I am feeling uncomfortable. I can say "Please stop I don't like that". We practiced different scenarios today. For example if someone took a toy of mine that I am playing with I can say "please stop!" If a friend asks me if they can give me a hug I can either say "yes" or "no thank you" and that is ok. Please have a conversation with me about different boundaries that we have in. our families. We learned that some students like to be tickled but only my their mom and dad and others like to be tickled by their friends. If we understand each other's boundaries we will feel more comfortable around each other and feel in control of our own bodies!  Alien-inline Skating An email was sent out through ou

We took a closer look at the sense of taste. I can taste things that are sweet, sour, salty and bitter. We had to think in our brains and use our memory bank to draw things for each category. At dinner tonight, I can tell you what I taste and if its sweet, sour, salty or bitter. We had some very special guest readers visit our classroom today! Mirabel from Encanto read to the AM class and Rapunzel read to the PM class! Ask me to tell you about it, what book they read and something I learned about them.
