This Week in Kindergarten!

This week we have using the story "Boucle d'or et les trois ours" to learn some new French words.
We are using the words "petit, moyen, grand" when describing our Show and Tell items.

The boys and girls enjoy retelling the story with these little characters and props from the book.  

We read a few different versions of the book and also watched a very short video.

Daina Leitold was with us this week.  She will also return next week as she had to cancel Wednesday's sessions.

Throwing an imaginary ball so that Daina could learn all of our names.

I believe that the children were being squirrels, gathering acorns for the winter.

Each child had to sculpt their partner into something that they like to do in the fall such as raking leaves, walking in the leaves, riding a bicycle, jumping in the leaves, etc.

A fall tableau.  We have some trees, squirrels, rabbits, swings and even a garbage can.

Daina and a volunteer demonstrating how to sculpt their statue.

I think that these were Canada geese preparing to fly off for the winter.

The afternoon class also sculpted their friends into statues of things that we like to do in the fall.  Because it feels more like winter in Winnipeg we even had some figure skaters.

The afternoon class' tableau with lots of animals preparing for winter and one little girl who enjoyed watching the leaves fall from the window in her house.

We have been busy preparing our portfolios for next week's "Celebration of Learning" conferences.

Tracing and cutting the circle carefully along the lines.

We also completed the colour "vert" in our colour booklets.

We also ended off the week, printing the number zero.
