Hello Kindergarten Families,

2. Find and build sets with numbers 1 through 10. For example 1 fork, 2 spoons, 3 books...etc.

3. Play Card Games: Go Fish, War, Crazy 8's etc. (Remove Jacks, Queens and Kings from deck for children to focus on numbers A-10)

How to play War ( to practice skill of counting on) 

All cards are dealt to the two players and kept face down. Neither player must look at their cards. Both players turn over the top 2 cards of their piles and put them face up in the centre of the table, beside the other player’s card. The players must add the number cards together. We are practicing the skill of counting on ( For example, 5 and 7 turned over. Pick the highest number and count on from that number. 7 then count on 5 more) Whoever has turned over the highest ranking card takes all cards and adds them to the bottom of his pile. Please state out loud ______ is higher than _____. Play continues until one player runs out of cards. 

Celebrate your child's learning:

Set a goal with your child. What are your goals for your child? What are their goals? Please upload this to IRIS to share with your teacher.

We started learning about 2d and 3d shapes. The children were given popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners and had to make as many shapes as they could. We talked about each shape and what it looks like. We played shape games with a partner where one partner drew a shape and the other had to ask yes or no questions to try and figure out what the shape is. For example, "Does it have 4 corners?" "Does it have 3 sides?" etc.  We continued to work on our penguin dioramas.  We had music and gym. Ask your child what they did with Mrs. Coulson and Mr. Der? Wednesday is PINK shirt day. Please wear pink in support of always treating others with kindness.   Friday is an AM kindergarten day.  Please practice our penguin song at home:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdngdI506U  Happy Feet - The Song Of The Heart Movie - Happy Feet 2006 Singer - Prince www.youtube.com                          ...
