Wednesday January 8

During arrival centers this week, many of the centers involve subitizing games. Do you have any games at home that involve a dice? Can you add a second dice to the game to practice counting on?

We read a story, "Toys Meet Snow". Ask your child what happened in the story. The children then responded in their journals with pictures and printing. We are encouraging all the students to put down any letter sounds they hear when writing. If your child likes to draw at home, see if they can add some letters or familiar words to their drawings.

All classes attended gym. The children are working on dribbling skills with a basketball. 

We did an experiment today and tested out a variety of mittens in the snow. We used our criteria to test the mittens. Our criteria is: Is the mitten warm? Does the snow stay out?
Does it fit properly? Is it waterproof?

The students will be designing their own mitten using a variety of materials. The students came up with criteria for their mitten (waterproof, snow stays out, warm on the inside, fits properly) and we are looking for materials such as packing materials, bubble wrap, fabric, cotton batting etc. to assist them in their creations.  PM will be designing a mitten on Friday and AM will be designing on Monday.  If you have any items you would be willing to donate we appreciate it.

This Friday, January 10 is a PM Kindergarten day.

Today was an outstanding day in Kindergarten.  We talked about what makes up a community and the interesting places we can find right in our own community of Tuscany.  We continued to explore community helpers and the jobs they do in our community.  We completed a journal response where we drew a picture of what we want to be when we grow up. Our arrival centers included a chance to explore shapes.  We built buildings with shapes, used plasticine & toothpicks to make 3-D shapes, used geo-boards & elastics to make shapes and played shape roll & write.  Please ask your child what shape center they explored today. Please note the learning commons is closed this week for book exchange due to the set up of the book fair. There is NO school Thursday Nov 21 and Friday Nov 22 for Kindergarten due to parent teacher interviews.  Please book a conference to discuss your child's progress with their responsibility teacher.  It is essential that te...
