Inspired by some very animated conversations with students about where we should go next in our learning, we've decided to begin an investigation into the world of seeds! We looked closely at a variety of different seeds this week and made some scientific drawings and observations about what we saw. They LOVED this! Take a look for seeds in the foods you eat at home. Feel free to send in any that you and your child discover together :)



 

 

 

 

We continue to talk about and search for signs of spring. We're anxiously awaiting some green leaves on the trees! Sculpture is such a wonderful way to have children represent their ideas. I was blown away by how they were able to demonstrate their understanding of springtime through this fun medium. 



 

 

 

 

Children are working very hard to identify and name the 3D shapes they learned about with Mrs. Seddon on Monday. We had a lot of fun drawing them on Thursday and learned some fancy artist shading tricks to make our shapes pop! 

  

 

This week's letter focus was K. Only one more letter to go! Our popcorn word this week was LIKE.






Classroom Information and Reminders:




Monday is a Professional Day for teachers. There will be no school for morning or afternoon students.

Have a wonderful Easter! See you on Tuesday :)  



Miss Roberts 

Spring has sprung in kindergarten and we are loving every minute of it! We spent a lot of time this week talking about the signs of spring and enjoyed exploring these ideas through some new centre time activities. 

 

  

 

 

 

With checklists in hand, we took our investigations outside to search our school yard for these exciting signs of the new season. Our little scientists had so much fun on their spring hunt.

 

 

Children were thrilled to share about their adventures over the break and used their expert drawing skills to share a little bit about what they did. We've also begun writing sentences now! Yipppeeee!!! 🌟 Proud Teacher Moment 🌟

 

"Daddy was watching Star Wars with me 

and Drew."  

"I am at Vernon and I was on the 

monkey bars and on the tire swing." 

"I was digging with my brother. 

We did a good job. 

Mom was proud of us."

We learned a new number game to build upon our understanding of how numbers relate to one another. This game helps children to practice adding on and taking away to create different quantities. Many giggles could be heard while this game was being played. 

We're nearing the end of our weekly letters...only a few more to go! Can you guess what letter we learned about this week...?

(it's Yoda with a yo-yo 😊)

Classroom Information and Reminders:

1. I will be away from the school from April 8-12. In my absence, Mrs. Seddon will be joining us for the entire week! Please contact her with any information about absences or student questions while I am away (ljseddon@cbe.ab.ca).

Have a wonderful week!
