The following day, both classes wanted to make another poster for next year's families. The morning class thought it would be good to tell the families about rules we have in kindergarten. The afternoon class wanted to make a different poster, so came up with 'tips" for the students!
It is very important your child knows the letter names and sounds by the end of the school year. Here is a link with some fun suggestions for practicing these:
17 Amazing Alphabet Activities To introduce students to our storytelling curriculum, I use Jan Brett's The Mitten. We read this story twice before acting it out. We identified the characters in the story, and students chose which part they wanted to play. We pretended crawling under the tables was crawling into the mitten. As I read through the story, the actors moved into the mitten at their character's time. Half the class acted out the story while the other half observed, as the audience. We then switched roles so everyone had a chance to participate. In your child's portfolio you will find a mitten your child sewed together and The Mitten characters your child coloured and cut out. During Student Led Conferences in February one of your child's tasks will be to retell you the story of The Mitten. Morning Class ActingAfternoon Class ActingWelcome back to school! We started the week with the question: Can you tell a story without saying any words? Most of the children thought you could not, some thought you could, and one couldn't decide. We then watched the story "The Snowman" based on the book by Raymond Briggs. This story has no words, it's a visual story. It created a lot of discussion among the students. We then created our own snowmen using the same art technique we used to make our Santas before the break. Your child's snowman is now in their portfolio so you can see it at our next Student Led Conferences. We continued the week with a "Snow Study", by reading “Snow”, which discussed winter weather and how snowflakes are made. We then completed give “Snow Stations”: playing at the snow table, creating winter pictures with puffy paint (AKA magic snow paint), drawing snowflakes using stencils, cutting snowflakes, and building snowflakes with popsicle sticks. Here are some photos from our explorations: Popsicle Stick SnowflakesSnow TableCutting Paper SnowflakesSnowflake StencilsSnow Painting (Puffy Paint)Here’s what we learned during our snow study:
· “When you look with a magnifying glass maybe you can see the snowflakes.” · “They have six branches.” · “Every snowflake looks different.” · “Snowflakes are made out of little ice crystals.” · “Snow is really cold.” · “It’s fun to play in the snow.” What was your favourite thing we did this week?
