Learning Intentions for the week - Early Literacy
1. I can recall events and characters in familiar stories read aloud by others.
2. I can begin to use language prediction skills when stories are read aloud.
3. I can use drawings to illustrate ideas and information, and talk about them.

Learning Intentions for the week - Mathematics 
1. I can say the number sequence 1 to 10 by 1s, starting anywhere from 1 to 10 and from 10 to 1.
2. I can represent and describe numbers 2 to 10, concretely and pictorially

Morning Message
Literacy
Materials - white visual journal, pencil, scissors, glue or tape, green piece of paper, green pencil crayon/marker/crayon, and your imagination.

Please watch the story, followed by a shared group activity, and then instructions on your literacy task:
Jack and the Beanstalk

 Instructions: 1. cut a strip of green paper (about 2" wide)
2. using scissors, snip small cuts along the bottom of the green paper to create a "fringe" effect
3. glue the grass down at the bottom of your page
4. draw some "magical seeds" of your choice
5. draw a long, winding beanstalk - don't forget the leaves
6. draw what you find at the top of your beanstalk

 A quick stop motion video for you to enjoy:

 Math
Making Sets and Counting On
Materials - groups of similar objects that you find in your house (ex: spoons, lego, stuffies, books, socks, etc.)

Please watch the video on making sets here:
Making Sets and Counting On

Now it's your turn to make sets for the numbers 1-10.  Please remember that each set of objects needs to be the same, for example 3 spoons, 4 forks, 5 pencils.

After your child has made the sets, please use the #10 set to practice the skill of counting on from a number. Place 5 objects and ask your child to turn the set into a set of 7.

This is done by counting on to the set, knowing you have 5, then adding #6 and #7.  Please practice for a variety of numbers 1-10.  This can be a challenging concept for some of our learners.

If your child is feeling very confident at making sets and counting on, please encourage them to do the same activity but with the numbers 11-15 or even 11-20.
Challenge of the Day
Materials - anything that you have that you have multiple of (ie. utensils, books, socks, toys, etc)

 Can you make a pattern? Can you build an AB pattern (2 elements)? How about an ABC pattern (3 elements)? Try a challenging pattern such as AAB or AABBCC? Be creative about what you use to make patterns with!

What Makes You Feel Loved?

My family makes me feel loved. Charlotte and Luke give the best hugs and make me laugh all the time! 

 Easter

Charlotte and Luke doing what they love best. Finding puddles to jump in on our daily walks.
(Luke needs a haircut but Mrs. Mask is too afraid to do it herself 🙂)




My family makes me feel loved - especially when we can laugh together! We're spending lots of time together right now, playing new games, learning new things and I caved into watching ALL the Star Wars movies so I can be as smart as them! There's so many to watch 🙂 - love, Mrs.Watterson



The number one thing that makes me feel loved is my family!  I love when we can laugh together and be silly.  This picture was taken at a family wedding.  Leah was the flower girl and she was super excited!  We had such a fun time!  Right now, we are spending lots of time together, playing board games, watching movies, reading, doing puzzles and going for walks in the ravine.

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...
