Monday December 14

Important Information:  As we prepare to transition to online learning for the week of January 5-8, 2021 (January 4th is a PD Day), each child will require a pencil, eraser, coloring tools (crayons, markers, or pencil crayons), scissors, a glue stick and plain paper (this could be a journal or loose sheets of paper is fine).  If you have these items for your child, can you please organize them over the holidays so that your child is ready with their supplies on Jan 5th.  If you do not have access to these items at home, please email your child's teacher and we will make arrangements to send items home.  Thank you for your support as we transition to online learning.  More information will be coming this week as to the organization of online learning for Kindergarten.

Today at school we read the story The Joyful Book by Todd Parr.  We talked and drew about what makes each one of us joyful.  At school we made a class Joyful book for you all to enjoy!  If you are at home please have your child draw a picture of what makes them joyful.  Please help them to sound out copy words to complete the sentence "____________ makes me joyful." on a piece of paper.  Make sure to add your name to your picture.  Parents, please email a picture of your child's work at home to your teacher and we will make sure to add it to our class book.

Storytime 10:40-11:00am. For those of you who are home, we will be offering story time each day this week from 10:40-11:00am.  Please join us on a Google Meet using the code: ehsstorytime .  Please log onto Google Meet using your child's educbe.ab email address that was sent home with your child last week.  Mrs. Mask and Mrs. Conley will take turns meeting our friends who are at home to share a couple of stories.  If your child is at home and it is their show and tell this week, please have them bring their item to story time to share on their show and tell day.

Math - Mystery Counting 

Materials: a brown bag or similar bag that is non-transparent, 10-20 small objects to put inside bag

I can...

  • Count to 10
  • Understand that the last number in a count represents the total number of objects
  • Show numbers 2 to 10 with different objects and pictures

Put some objects into a brown lunch bag or a non-transparent fabric bag. Let your child reach into the bag and try to count the objects without looking. Take the objects out and count. You can turn it into a game by taking turns making a mystery bag and counting.



For an extension, consider putting more objects into the bag (up to 20).

Challenge of the Day
Materials: be creative use what you find at home!

Build a house for your favorite stuffy! What materials will you use? Where will you build it?

This morning was Sports day for the AM kindergarten. We had fun at 7 different stations in the hub and gym. Ask your child about their favourite station. PM kindergarten will have sports day tomorrow. They can wear "rainbow " colours.  We read the story, The Night Before First Grade and talked about how we are feeling about going into Grade 1 and what we are excited most about. We drew pictures in our visual journals. Ask your child how they are feeling and what they are most looking forward to. We watched parts of the EHS talent show.
