We had a very busy and fun-filled week together in kindergarten! As we do each and every week, children practiced printing and drawing things that begin with our weekly letter. This week we talked about the letter F. We have now spent time focusing on 6 alphabet letters and sounds that your child should feel quite comfortable with (P, H, C, T, A and F). It's so exciting to see our little ones becoming writers! Take a look at how our writing skills are progressing:

Some children are labelling their pictures with beginning letter sounds.

Some children are beginning to listen for beginning and ending sounds.

Some children are beginning to listen for beginning, middle and ending sounds. 

In preparation for our visit to the fire station, students reflected on everything they know about firefighters and came up with some great questions about things they would like to learn on our visit. Students are becoming much more confident representing their ideas through their drawings! 

Our afternoon visit to the fire station was a huge success! The firefighters taught us about fire safety and gave us a tour of the fire hall and the fire truck! Each student had a chance to sit in the truck and turn on the flashing red lights. It was a very exciting day! The morning class will visit the fire station on Wednesday.

 

 

 

On our early dismissal Friday, we learned about abstract art and created an absolutely breathtaking collaborative mural using F-F-Fall colours! Our little artists were feeling quite proud of their work.

Wow, we did A LOT this week! Annnd we even managed to squeeze in some spooky Halloween fun!
