Mme Godin's Kindergarten Blog: This Week In Kindergarten!

This week we started Discovery Bins. Each table has different materials to explore while we are waiting for the morning or afternoon to begin.

The children had to roll the die and pick up the feather that matched the number on the die. The child who collected the most feathers at the table won the game.

Counting beads.

Adding popsicle stick feathers to our turkeys.

Decorating turkey feathers with buttons.

Some children were making patterns with the popsicle sticks.

This is a great activity to strengthen the muscles in our fingers which will help us to become good printers.

Another great activity to improve fine motor skills.

I heard lots of boys and girls counting in French!

The afternoon class is busy at work.

Lots of concentration and patience was needed to complete this task.

The children are also learning to share and cooperate with their classmates.

The boys and girls also worked on waiting their turn.

Counting the pips on the die.

We played a large version of the game during numeracy activities.

We also played an "Oh-Oh!" colour turkey game.

The boys and girls also had to roll a die and add the correct amount of feathers on their turkeys (le dindon).

We have spent many days these past two weeks exploring the outdoors.

The morning class went on a "Fall Hunt". They had to circle things that we found outside one day. The afternoon class will be doing this next week. This is a fun way to learn new French words.
