Our Week in Kindergarten November 16-20

Dear Families,

We were very focused on our McDonalds Restaurant this week. We added many new things that McDonalds has and needs.

An Open and Closed sign to tell people when the store is closed so the workers can sleep, rest, have a break, and eat lunch.

Costumes that are called uniforms for  the Chefs and the Waiters and Waitresses so they don't get dirty and so we know who works there.




A big menu that shows people what food and drinks our McDonalds can make.

Little order papers so that the Waiters and Waitresses can take our orders and get the food ready for us.



Ketchup and Mustard for people to put on the bread or the french fries.
  

We read a good story Elephant and Piggie - I Will Take a Nap. Our Special Helper brought it in for us.
It was a funny story. Elephant had a dream that Piggie had a turnip head!!!
We are going to make puppets for the characters so that we can put on shows.
Maybe next week, we can read more Elephant and Piggie Books


Our classroom now has an 'Author Wall'. It is for books that the children in our class have written and illustrated. Next week, Bluejay families can come and visit to see our wall!

Love, The Bluejays

Our Week in Kindergarten November 9-13

Dear Families,


We have started a Kindergarten Band. We don't have a name yet, but we have been practicing and practicing. We have been making instrument plans and building our instruments at the art centre. More to come next week.


So far this year, we have had 4 Special Helpers for the week. Each week they bring a book from home to share with us and we've liked all of them.
We have read:
-The Day the Crayons Quit By: Drew Daywalt
-Pinkalicious By: Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann
-Boo! By: Robert Munsch
               -Doors in the Air By: David Weale and Pierre Pratt


We have started to make a pretend McDonalds in our Let's Pretend centre. We got McDonalds cups and french fry containers. We sell hamburgers and french fries (But don't really eat them! They are only yellow sponges!)


We have started to make a classroom alphabet. We made an 'A'  with ants, a 'B' with buttons, a 'C' with cotton balls, and a 'D' with dinosaurs. We wonder what we'll make next! We have also listened to letter songs on youtube that taught us about vowels and consonants. Did you know that 'A' is a vowel?

Our Week in Kindergarten November 2 - November 6

Dear Families,
We are Back!

 

This week we were very busy.

A shoe drive has started at Black Walnut. If you have shoes that don't fit you anymore, you can put them in our shoe drive.

We got new paints for our art centre that we get to squirt out ourselves!

We have been building a lot too! Our friends made a very tall building, a fort, a house and a school that is practicing a fire drill. 



We went on a nature walk to the forest. We saw a woodpecker and bugs and Bluejay girl caught a grasshopper for us! We all brought a leaf back to school and told a story about it. Today, we are going to figure out who found the smallest leaf and who found the biggest leaf!

Love, The Bluejays
