This Week in Kindergarten!

This week, we played many games relating to colours.  The boys and girls had to try and get all of the craft sticks with a coloured button out of the container before picking the "Oh-Oh!" stick.  If a child picked the "Oh-Oh!" stick we had to put all of the other craft sticks back in the container and start again.

Practicing to hold a pencil correctly and tracing short lines.

The afternoon class hard at work.

Sorting the shapes according to circles (les cercles) and squares (les carrés).

Colouring all of the circles on the paper.

Reminding the children to hold the crayon (le crayon de cire) just like their pencil (le crayon).

Playing colour bingo on the SMARTboard.

Working in our colour booklets.

There were many steps to follow and the boys and girls all did a great job!

We will learn a new poem for each colour and complete a craft to further develop fine motor skills as well as to reinforce the new vocabulary.

Singing our Terry Fox song:  "La persévérance" by Gregg LeRock before starting our run this morning.

The children ran in the gym with M. Charrette's class and some grade 4 helpers.  Mme Laura said that she could hear the students singing:  "Je cours comme Terry.  Terry Fox!" (I run like Terry).  Just a reminder that the afternoon class will be doing the Terry Fox run next Friday, September 27th at 2:00 p.m.

And of course so much learning, exploring, discovering, creating, cooperating and sharing during that all important PLAY TIME!

Making a pot of soup in the house area.

So many beautiful Play-doh creations.

Playing in the sandbox.

Building so many marble runs.

Setting the table with friends.  And just like that another week is over!
