Our Week - October 1 - 5

Hi Families,

We have had a busy week leading up to our Thanksgiving long weekend. Here are some stories. 

We Can Work Together
Sharing and taking turns is a big focus in our class right now. We are all working hard to practise using our words and saying please instead of pulling, grabbing, or biting. We really love playing with our new friends.


Orange Shirt Day
On Monday we talked about Orange shirt day. We all created an orange shirt of our own with different orange materials to show that we should all get to choose what we wear and who we want to be. We also made messages to remember that everyone is different and unique and to make sure no one feels left out.


Book Fair
Our school book fair was open this week. We visited and made wish lists and some families visited the book fair together. One of our classmates won the book fair door prize and so we got to choose new books for our class!


Markham Fair Art
Our artwork cam back from the Markham Fair. We were excited to see that some art had special ribbons on it! We had so much fun at Markham Fair last week. Thank you to all our parent helpers who made the day a success!!

Ten Drowsy Dinosaurs
We read our favourite counting book again this week and used special dinosaur counters to help tell the story. 


Belly Breathing
Feeling calm and relaxed is important in a Kindergarten class. This week we started our regular belly breathing. We take a moment in the morning and in the afternoon to stop, stay still, close our eyes, put our hands on our bellies, and take deep breaths. We now have a special ball to help us visualize while we're breathing. 


5 Little Turkeys
We had fun making handprint turkeys to bring home for Thanksgiving and had a great idea! We found a turkey poem and are going to create a story corner at our puppet theatre! Stay tuned for more turkey stories!


Parent Night
Thursday night our classroom was open to visitors! We enjoyed being your tour guides and showing you our classroom. We really like our room and we hope you did too! Remember that you can feel free to write us a note or come and visit or help anytime!
