Ruth King Kindergarten Div 12

Hello!

Our last week before the break, we finished off some projects, and worked on a lot of art projects.

We finished off our 3rd round of letters and sounds. We worked on ue, ar, and er sounds. With some of our extra free time, we worked on more letter art! K is for kangeroo, I is for unbrella, n is for number, and r is for rainbow.

Here are our Kangaroos, Umbrellas, and Rainbows!

With our r is for rainbow, we learned a lot about the colours of our rainbow, the primary red, yellow, and blue, and how they make orange, green, and purple, with an experiment!

We added red, yellow, and blue to every other cup, and placed paper towel between each. Students had to predict what colour the clear cups would turn.

The next day we watched how the colours of each primary colour crawled up the paper towel and mixed together to make secondary colours. It was fun to see the colour changes.

We also learned about leprechauns, and talked about ways to trap them! We made leprechaun faces, with writing things about about what makes us lucky!

We also finished off our work on bears, sharing our information with our KWL.

We also finished our b is for bear, and some pastel bears. They are currently displayed in our hallway.

We ended the week off with some aboriginal artwork with Ms. Chaves and performing our dancing for the school zumba.

Enjoy the next two weeks off, we will be back at it in April, with some home reading booklets and an open house the second week back!

Have a great break and see you in two weeks.

Hello!

We dove right into our journals this week, practicing more of our independent writing, by sounding out letters we hear. We wrote about our weekend, what foods we eat, and things we do at school.

We finished up our h is for hundred, and made C is for cat. We have almost finished all of our letter art for our booklets!

On Wednesday we created pink shirts and talked about pink shirt day. We added the pink shirts to our 100 acts of kindness board in the hall.

We looked more into shapes and the attributes that define them. We will finish up our work by trying to find different shapes in nature on Friday at Gokdstream Park.

Most have their permission slips handed in for our fieldtrip, should be a great time. We are planning some fun activities for the day.

We finished our family booklets by creating family trees. Some of the grade 5 leadership students came into our class and cut up our booklets to make posters of our work. They look great, and will be available for viewing during our open house.

With two weeks left before spring break we will be looking into bears, talking about measurment, and preparing for our dance performance on the 15th.

Hope you had a good weekend, and see you Monday!
