This Week in Kindergarten!

On Monday, we started our Hip-Hop classes with Monsieur Joseph.

He told us that we were SUPER HEROES IN TRAINING.

We have 4 super hero powers.

Number 1 is laser focus - making quick eye contact with the teacher.

Number 2 - Listening ears (we have the ability to change our ears into tall rabbit ears or large elephant ears in order to listen carefully to instructions).

Number 3 - Copycat skills - copying exactly what Monsieur Joseph does.

And number 4 - Statue (we jump, put our feet together, hands to our sides and we can hide in plain sight of everyone).

This was a mindfulness activity (breathing in and out for four counts lasting 3 minutes).

Copying Monsieur Joseph's moves.

We also did some isolation activities, focusing on a different body part each time.

Free style dance.

More isolation activities.

Playing the X and O elimination game.

Our next two sessions will take place on Wednesday, November 13 and Friday the 15th.  You may send a water bottle to school with your child on these days as we are working very hard.

Last week we painted paper plates.  This week we ripped small pieces of black construction paper to make beautiful poppies (les coquelicots).

The morning class' poppies.

The afternoon class' poppies.

Using our Handwriting Without Tears materials in preparation to begin our letter printing booklet.

We also used these materials to make a person and learned a new song so that we don't forget any body parts when drawing a person.

Encouraging the students by reminding them that if we can draw lines and curves we can draw a person.

The morning class hard at work drawing a person.

And the afternoon class drawing a person.

Our first "Spirit Day" was colour day.  It was fun to see everyone wearing blue.

The afternoon class all in blue wearing their poppies (les coquelicots).
