Our Week - May 23 - 26

Hi Families,

We had a short and eventful week. We had visitors, went to the forest, and learned a dance to perform at next week's Kinder Star Assembly. Here are some stories from the Bluejays.

Nature Walk
We had a nature walk this week and it was a scavenger hunt. We thought of ideas of what we wanted to look for and Ms. Boag made them into a list. We had to find a person, a baby, a bird, a bug, a baby plant, a footprint, an animal and a flower! You need to look on your list and find everything with a partner.


Number Wall
We made a number wall. We did the number 5, 10, and 6 for or wall. We are learning numbers in French, Tamil, Farsi, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Greek.

Adding is Fun!
We are learning to add numbers for math. Here is how we do it:
-We use numbers
-We make pictures
-We use chips or blocks and make sets
-We use our fingers

We have learned about special adding numbers called doubles. This is when you use 2 of the same numbers and add them together. 

Domino Parking Lot
We have a new math game and it is called Domino Parking Lot. You flip over a domino and you look at the dots. You count and add the dots and if you need that number you put it on your parking lot.

Doctor's Office
We planned to make a Doctor's Office. Now we have made a Doctor's Office and a waiting room.
               
                          

Fire Station
Yesterday we made a fire station. We started by making a plan and looking in books for ideas. We added helmets and costumes and made our puppet theatre into a fire truck with an alarm. Now we are moving around the classroom putting out fires!
                        

Welcome to Kindergarten
Our new Chickadees are getting ready to come to Kindergarten and we are excited to see them. Last night, we showed the Chickadees what we learn about here at school. We can read. We can can draw pictures. We can do math games!
