Language Centres

Learning about our ABC's!

 

Last week our students began to participate in our 1st language centres.  We divided the class into a Junior Kindergarten group and a Senior Kindergarten group.  The students are learning what it means to "stay and play" at a centre.  The groups are assigned to a centre - where they are to explore, interact with the materials, share with their peers, and stay until the end of the centre time.  Our students were amazing!  The boys and girls are learning/reviewing printing their names, printing letters, forming letters using a variety of materials and tools, writing and reading sight words.

International Dot Day is Here!!!

Our students are participating in the celebrations for International Dot Day!  We have listened to the story, The Dot by Peter Reynolds, and learned The Dot song.  We will be creating art inspired by the book, and learning that everyone is an artist!  We have created watercolour mini-dots to decorate our classroom door, a large collaborative dot painted with tempera paint and sidewalk chalk dots in our Kindergarten yard.  We will continue to explore our creative sides this week, as we make lots and lots of dots.  Here are some photos of our dots. (more will be added during the week!)

 

 

 



Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome Back to Our Senior Kindergarten Students!

We are very excited to begin our school year together today!  We are excited to welcome our new and returning students to Room 132.  We have been busy setting up our classroom, and we wanted to share some photos of our room.  We will use this blog throughout the year to document our learning and adventures in Kindergarten.  Please check back again soon.
