Tuesday May 25

Welcome back to school!  We were very excited to see each other this morning after our couple of weeks at home.

Today we worked in our personal journals.  We are getting very good at labeling our pictures with the beginning sounds we hear, using the word wall to copy print and trying to write a sentence to go with our picture.

We worked on simple addition sentences today using manipulatives to count out the answer.  We tried writing the math equations in our journals. Please check out www.abcya.com for Molly Adds Up to 10 for additional adding practice. We talked about the strategies we use to help us find the sum. Ask your child what strategies they can use to solve a problem.

We continued to investigate our author/illustrator study of Eric Carle.  Today we made our own paper like Eric Carle does.  We used paint and objects to stamp paper.  We were surprised to learn that we could paint a whole sheet of paper without using a paint brush.  Please ask your child what materials they painted with.  We will use the paper we made in the coming days for many spring art projects.

Friday is AM Friday.

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.
