We have been reviewing the 8 letters that we have learned so far in kindergarten. Today we looked at pictures and had to write down the first sound we hear in the word. At this time in kindergarten, I should be able to identify the following 8 letters and their sounds. Please show me this sheet and ask me to tell you what the first letter should be.

Today we had buddies with the grade fours!  It was a an extra special time because we made holiday cards for care homes in our community.  My buddy helped me write a special message and we worked together to decorate the card with markers and stickers.  We hope that our cards will bring some holiday cheer and brighten a senior's day :) Here is a sample of our cards.  Please ask me about my card!

 Today we read the story: "The Gingerbread Man" and talked about what characters are in the story.  We listened to the story and looked at the pictures to discover that characters are the people or things in the story that have role in the main storyline.  If there was a duck in the background, we knew that it was just a background picture, rather than an important part of the story.  In our visual journals we drew at least two characters that we remembered from the story.  Today we focused on using detail, colour and trying to label our pictures with the first letter of the character! We will be learning more about story elements, so please stay tuned!

This week we are taking a closer like a the letter Nn. Ask me to tell you what my mouth and tongue are doing when I make the "n" sound. We practiced printing the upper and lower case letter and drew pictures of things that started with N. Ask me to tell you what I drew. We will be reviewing the all of the letters we have learned so far and won't be introducing any new letters until after the new year. Please help me practice the letters and sounds.

It was amazing meeting with all of our Kindergarten families last week.  Thank you for taking the time and all the support that you provide from home.  We are so grateful to get to work with such amazing families.  Today we learned all about the number 9!  Please help me practice writing the numeral, word and representing it through pictures so that I can gain confidence and independence with all my numbers! I should be able to easily recognize my numbers and starting to get comfortable with counting independently.  Another fun and easy way to practice my numbers is to try putting objects into different groups.  For example, try making groups of 3, 5, 8 and 10 while eating cheerios :) Reminders: -Return library books for Thursday -This Friday PM Kindergarten attends -Classes will be going outside for gym this week. - As the weather gets colder, please ensure your child is dressed properly for outdoor weather.
