This Week in Kindergarten!

During Discovery time this week, the boys and girls had to roll out some Play-Doh strips and add the correct amount of hair on each card.

They also created poppies, using red and black buttons.

More creations out of lines and curves.

Adding the correct cubes to the designs on the cards.

The children also used magnetic lines and "Handwriting Without Tears" magna doodles to make letters.  Grande ligne (big line) petite ligne (small line).

This week we made the letter L.

Hard at work, copying and printing L's in our letter booklets.

Making sets of objects that are the same as (pareil que), less than (moins que) and more than (plus que).

Tracing numbers and adding the correct amount of stickers on each finger.

There were many students who were absent all week long in the afternoon kindergarten class.  These are the poppies (les coquelicots) that the rest of the class made.

The morning class' poppies.


And some photos of play time, on Thursday afternoon.  Creating marble runs.

Making roads and tracks for the cars and trains.

So many creative children.
