Our Week November 26 - 30

Hi Families,

Thank you to all families who have come in to meet Ms. Boag and Ms. Ancona and to families who have come to visit our Kindergarten class! On Tuesday we will be having our bus safety visit and that will only be the beginning of a very busy December!

Since last week we had a P.A. Day on Friday here are some stories from 2 weeks in Kindergarten. 

Mother Earth Helpers
Our Bluejays have been hard at work taking care of Mother Earth. After reading a book we realized there are 3 important things to take care of when we are at school so we have made 3 teams - the water team, the litter team, and the recycling team. Here is some planning from each team so far. Stay tuned for more learning!

We were also asked to choose one Bluejay to be our class representative for Black Walnut's Team of Eco Leaders! 

Patterns
Ms. Sun was with us all week and she is teaching us about patterns that repeat. We looked at colour patterns this week and tried to make our own. 

Mystery Plant
We are still looking at and thinking about our mystery plant. We know it's not broccoli, or a tomato, or an apple tree. We do think it is a tree though but we just haven't figured out what kind.



Visits and Assembly
We had lots of visitors this week in our classroom. They were our parents visiting the chickadees! We also got to see some of our parents at the assembly this week! Ms. Sindhwani's class performed a song about peace. 

Box City
Thank you for all the boxes! Our construction centre is turning into a box city! We have created houses, apartments, stores, a police station, and more!


Each time we add something to the city we make a plan. We draw out the building and how we want it to look and then we create the building from a box.


City Walk

Since we are making a city in the classroom, we decided to explore our own city on our nature walk. We saw signs, roads, mailboxes, and houses. We even found a very old house - it is over 100 years old! It is right around the corner from the school and we never knew! 



Paper Airplanes
We like to make paper airplanes! We carefully fold our papers into interesting designs. We took them out into the hallway this week to throw them and see whose will go the furthest.....We discovered that they don't go very far right now. They fall to the floor. We'll have to keep trying next week!
