Kindergarten Highlights March 2017

Happy Spring! We have been looking for signs of spring all around us. 

Thank you for sending your child in crazy socks to support World Down Syndrome Day!

Literacy:

   During March students enjoyed a variety of Dr. Seuss stories, books about spring, and explored the idea of bears in spring. We have been listening for rhyming words and practising making our own rhymes. Pals update: all 26 sounds have been taught and now the students are beginning blends. Sight words include a, the, was, on, is, I, and, into, my, are, for, with, they, play, have, has, her and wants.

Math:
   We are learning to use positional language. Words like behind, under, over, above... help us locate toys and tell our friends where to look! We also have been creating number sentences adding two sets of objects together.

Lent:
   We are continuing to do good deeds at home and at school. A popcorn party will follow celebrating all of our acts of kindness. We have been learning about Jesus' time on earth teaching about God's love for all and hearing about the many miracles Jesus performed while on earth.

Inventor's Workshop:
   Thank you to all of the families that sent in supplies for our workshop! Students have begun to use their imagination to create structures and inventions to share with their classmates.
