Feb 28th



Community Kindergarten
We have been learning to identify, build and explain 2-D and 3-D shapes.  Please ask your child if they can tell you about this learning.  Ask them to list the various 2-D and 3-D shapes that they know. 

Pink shirt day led to a lot of great conversation.  We also had a lot of fun reading books on kindness with our buddies.  Please check out our pictures!

We have also continued our work on nutrition.  Ms.  Allegro, our student teacher, is doing an excellent job in building excitement and knowledge about healthy eating.  Did you know that the Canada food guide has moved from four food groups to three?  The milk and meat group have been combined into one group called the “Protein group.”  

Finally, we have continued on with literacy.  We covered the letter Kk in our printing journal.  Please continue to work with writing with your child at home.  They are becoming much more independent in s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g the words out loud and then writing down the beginning, middle and end sounds that they hear.

French Immersion:
 We have learned all about 2D shapes this week. We have also been working on putting shapes together to create pictures and artwork. Can your child tell you all about shapes in French?

 We are working on singing our Alphas together to read words we are writing. Can your child identify some French sounds in their Library books this week?
