Our Week - October 15 - 19

Hi Families,

We had a wonderful week and learned a lot about safety from our TWO fire drills!
Please remember that Monday is a P.A. Day so we will see you Tuesday!

Wednesday is OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY and we will be outside. So please dress your children appropriately.

Here are some stories from our week.
             

Nature Walk Art
We went on a nature walk back to the forest to look for more leaves. We used leaves and other nature we could find in the forest to make art. We worked in groups and created masterpieces.     
                    

Sorting
We are learning about sorting in Kindergarten and tried it at different centres this week. We sorted pom poms, leaves, gem stones, and more!
                  

Don't Get the Red Dot
We learned more about subitizing this week when we played 'Don't Get the Red Dot'! We looked at number cards and made those numbers on a ten frame. But when we got the red dot we had to take all the pieces out!


Cutting Practise
We practised our scissor cutting this week with 2 challenges! Chickadees made trains and Bluejays got to cut sweet circle treats! Cutting circles is hard work so we really had to concentrate!


Calm and Relaxed
Everyday after lunch we do our belly breathing. This is when we sit quietly and breathe deep breaths. We talked this week about the words calm and relaxed and tried to visualize places we go to feel calm and relaxed. We decided that we feel calm:
-sitting in a comfy chair
-in our bed
-floating in the water
-sitting in warm sand

We made paintings about our calm places and wrote stories to go with them.
