Hello!

Second to last week is done, one more to go! I’m definitely not counting the days…

I don’t really remember what we did Monday and Tuesday, mainly because Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were so much fun!

Our beach day was on Wednesday, we went to Witty’s Lagoon. It was a long walk down to the beach, and an even longer walk back, but we made it and had a lot of fun. Lots of exploration, especially crab hunting.

On Thursday we celebrated our Aboriginal Day with a lot of activities. We started the morning with our friendship song and watched a really cool dance performance. We got to do some rock painting and create a talking stick. We watched a Raven tale show about how Eagle lost its hair. In the afternoon we had a tug of war battle, where our class managed to defeat me in an epic showdown. At the end of the day we got to sample some bannock and salmon, it was delicious.

On Friday we went for our Teddy Bear picnic at Carlow park. It was a lot of fun, and those with bathing suits got to enjoy the water park.

Next week is our last week before summer break. On Monday I will be sending home all of their work. Enjoy the Kindergarten scrap books!

On Tuesday we will have our Kindergarten Graduation in the afternoon. It starts at 1pm, with an outside party afterwards.

Wednesday is fun day, with free range activities in the morning, and sprinklers in the afternoon.

Thursday I am still figuring out, as it is our last day, so we will probably have a fun movie day.

See you all next week!

Hello!

Our third to last week is over, only two more to go! Our field trip on Wednesday to Play Zone was a lot of fun, it felt like everyone needed a nap after though.

We reviewed the numbers 3 and 4 this week, as well as had an extra long math rotating station on Friday. We got to create a pirate treasure as well as a flower recipe.

We finished off our butterfly work, and most managed to use their own sounding out powers to write what they learned about butterflies by themselves. They are on display in the hall.

I hope everyone enjoyed their paint pouring portraits that went home Thursday, they turned out pretty well.

Next week is another big week, with Wednesday being beach day, Thursday is Aboriginal day, and Friday is our Teddy Bear picnic.

Also the week after, Tuesday the 25th will be our Kindergarten Graduation, Wednesday is fun day, and Thursday is the last day of school! Jam packed full of fun these next two weeks. See you all on Monday.

Hello!

Welcome to June and the count down to the end of the year! 3 weeks left!

We finished off our letter book this week, adding Z is for zebra to it. It will be sent home the last week of school.

We started our review of numbers 1 to 10, working with our 10 frames, number line, and printing practice.

Our walking trip to the M’akala house was a lot of fun, we got to try out some paint pouring, and made a lovely gift for next week’s Father’s Day.

We finished off our look at story telling and story elements, with our own little stories! They are currently in the hallway if you want to come by to read them.

We also started a KWL on butterflies, and released 4 of our 5 back into nature this week. Next week we will finish our look into them.

And our last visit from Baby Tyson occured on Wednesday, where we had a fun dance party with him.

Next week we have a field trip to Play Zone on Wednesday. The 411 is that siblings are allowed, but must pay separately from us. Should be a good week.

Have a good weekend, and see you Monday.

Hello!

We survived what felt like the longest week ever, with our Beacon Hill trip, Fun Fair, and so many other activities going on.

With our letters, we worked on v, w, x, and y. Only one letter to go before we are finished!

With our numbers, we works on more addition and subtraction strategies, focusing more on number lines this week. We went outside and drew some number lines on the playground.

We also worked on our own personal stories. We read some pictureless storybooks, and discussed how every story has a character, a setting, and a beginning, middle, and end, where some problem occurs and gets fixed. With our knowledge we practices creating stories outside. Here are a couple.

We are putting the finishing touches on our paper copies.

Our caterpillars have formed their crysalist, and will hopefully turn into butterflies soon. We will be looking more into butterflies next week.

Our trip to Beacon Hill was a lot of fun. We got to see the running of the goats, some eagles, a large herring neat, feed the ducks,  and check out some turtles. A reminder not to bring expensive things on the fire.

Next week on the 5th we are waking back to the m’akola center on Wednesday, planning on making some fathers day projects. On the 12th we are going to play some for the year and trip. The week after is beach day and aboriginal day. And the last week of school is fun day… So busy for the rest of June.

Have a good weekend and see you Monday.
