This Week in Kindergarten!

The boys and girls used Q tips and red paint to trace over the letters in their names.

I will be sending home a laminated name printing sheet for you to keep at home in the next week or so.  The children will be practicing to print their names in lower-case letters at school each day.

We have been talking about treaties and each class wrote a treaty together.

Ask your child what a treaty is (a promise) and what they promised to do to make our class a safe and fun place to learn.

The afternoon class shook hands and promised to follow our treaty.

The morning class agreeing and promising.

We started the first book of many about twins Paul and Suzanne.  Our very first book is all about fall (l'automne).

Playing a math game with Mme Godin's giant cards.

Mme put a card on a child's forehead and our friends had to show us with their fingers the correct number.  The child with the card on his/her forehead had to guess the number.

Tracing the numbers from 1 to 5 and adding the correct amount of stars on each finger.

Playing a find the object that is different game on the SMARTboard.

Another fun Math game with a jumbo die and playing cards.  We rolled the die and found the matching card but be careful to not roll a 6 or we have to put a card back in the pile.  When all the cards are picked we counted to see who had the most.

Colouring squares (les carrés).

We ended off the week with our Terry Fox run for the afternoon class.
