Tuesday March 10


Today we broke off into our 3 interest research groups. The children voted which three they wanted to learn about and then chose which group they wanted to be in once we narrowed the choices down.

AM groups are Deer, Rabbits and Woodpeckers.
PM groups are Deer, Rabbits and Snakes.

We talked about what we already know about the animal and what we wonder about the animal. We then read a few stories and looked a variety of pictures and books and talked about the appearance of the animal. We made a big list about the animal and then the students created their first page in their research books about the appearance of the animal. What animal is your child learning about? Ask them to describe the appearance.

For our Read A Thon challenged today to read an Indigenous story. We read the story, "When We Were Alone". Ask your child about the story. What does Kokom mean? What happened to Kokom when she was young? Where did she go and what happened to her hair?

We send a white form home today about the Eric Harvie Read A Thon Pledge form. Please see it for more information.

Please check out the EHS Read-a-thon website!  Our goal at EHS this week is to read across Canada!  Please use the website to record your child's reading minutes each day.  Reading each day can include reading home reading books as well as listening to stories read aloud by someone else (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, older sibling, etc..)

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...
