Our little kindergarten elves were hard at work this week! 

-We focused on the letter E. 

-We drew the most adorable elves and worked hard to label our drawings with letters and words. 

-We talked about the importance of family traditions. This would be a great thing to chat about with your child this weekend. Brainstorm all of the wonderful traditions that are special to your family at this time of the year :)

-We enjoyed some festive new centres!

 

Here’s a note from Mrs. Planden:

Your child came home with a pattern gallery on Monday! Students were asked to create 3 different pattern varieties, and were specifically asked to only show one AB pattern. After they created their patterns, we discussed the pattern that they created and the students were asked to represent it using letters. (ABC for pink purple yellow) and to identify the pattern core. 

Here are some questions you can ask your pattern rockstars!

1. Describe your pattern for me.

2. What would the next colour be?

3. What kind of pattern is it? Can you use letters to tell me? (Is it an AB pattern? An AAB pattern?)

4. What is the core of your pattern (the smallest part of the pattern that repeats)?

Have a wonderful weekend! One more week to go!

Hello Parents,

I am ending my week on such a high after chatting with all of you. Thank you so much for making time to have these important conversations about your child. 

This week was SO MUCH fun! We learned that ROCKET SHIP, ROBOTS, and RAINBOWS begin with the letter R and had fun exploring some new classroom centres. 

 

We're learning more and more about the planets in our solar system and worked through a special art project to expand our thinking in this area.

We're continuing to refine our skills of telling and representing stories that contain a main character, setting, problem and solution. 

In math, we continue to explore increasingly complex patterns and are having fun searching for them in stories we read and on our clothing each day.

Children sign their name each day as they enter our classroom. Lately, we have a question for the children to answer as they sign-in. Start asking your child what our question of the day was and have them explain why they made the answer they did. We're working very hard to consistently write our names with an upper-case letter at the beginning, followed by all lowercase letters :) 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Miss Roberts
