Our Week - October 23 - 26

Hi Families,

Notes for Next Week!
*Just a reminder that next Wednesday is Halloween! Your children are invited to dress up for the day but please no masks or weapons. If you would like to send in a snack to share with the class please send only healthy snacks (crackers, cheese, fruit, vegetables). We will have a Kindergarten parade and walk around the school to visit the other grades. 

*Book bags should be returned on Monday as we would like to add new songs to our song and poem books. Bluejays are also ready to bring home readers so be sure to send these book bags regularly. 


Here are some stories from our short week.

I Am Me Book
We are writers in Kindergarten and this week we worked together to make a class book. We called it the 'I Am Me' book. We all got to make a page for the book and put our photo in it. Some Bluejays made a front and back cover for the book too. We love to read our creation at the reading centre.


Outdoor Classroom Day
Wednesday was Outdoor Classroom day and it was so cold and so fun! We went outside with two Grade 1 classes and played different games. We played 'pass the hoop', partner tag, and lizard tag. We also learned about squirrels getting ready for winter and pretended to hide and find food. Being a squirrel is hard work! 
*Remember that we got out to the forest 2 times a week so be sure to dress warmly! It's cold outside in the forest!


Super Sorters
We have been learning about sorting in Kindergarten and had some sorting challenges this week. Ms. Boag was so clumsy and dropped all her paperclips and the crayons from our writing centre! What a mess! We helped her to sort the items by colour and then we counted them to see which colours we had the most of. 


Mr. Pike Visited
On Thursday, our principal Mr. Pike visited our classroom. We were really excited to see him and show him our classroom and show him the great things we are doing in Kindergarten!

Fighting Fires
We always enjoy building different vehicles at the construction centre and now we are making fire trucks! Ms. Boag found our fire fighter hats and some hoses and we are ready to put out fires!
