                                                          Will it land on a witch's hat?

                                               Lining up to throw the mice in the cauldron.

                                           Waiting patiently for Halloween bingo to begin.

                                                      Taking turns to play tic-tac-toe.

                                   The boys and girls had a great time at our Halloween party!

                              The morning class had time to participate in a skeleton bone hunt.

            The students had to find all of the bones hidden in the classroom.  There was a purple team and an orange team.

                          The first team to put the skeleton puzzle together were the winners.
                         
                           I hope that everyone had a GREAT TIME TRICK OR TREATING!!!

Just a reminder that the kindergarten students have recess every day.  Morning recess is from 9:55 to 10:10 a.m. and afternoon recess is from 1:45 to 2:00 p.m.
Please make sure that your child is dressed according to the weather, toques, mittens, boots, etc.
Also, please help your child further develop independence by having him/her dress  independently.  Take some time to practice at home if needed.  Your child should know how to put his/her arms in the sleeves of his/her jacket without someone holding the jacket.  They should also know how to fix sleeves that are inside out.  Have your child practice putting on and removing his/her boots.  They should also be able to get their snow pants over the top of their boots.  Remind your child that the last thing they put on are their mittens as it is difficult to dress yourself with mittens on.
Mme Godin is happy to start up zippers and tie scarves as these can be tricky at times.  Remember that one of the kindergarten learning outcomes is to develop independence in your child.
Please label all items of clothing as many children have the same toques, snow pants, boots, mittens, etc.

Merci!
Mme Godin

This Week in Kindergarten!

This week's Discovery Bins included Halloween puzzles.

Mirrors and Halloween manipulatives. Some children made patterns, designs and even skeletons.

Eyeballs and ten frame ice cube trays

Halloween lacing cards.

The afternoon class counting the amount of dots on the plastic eyeballs and placing them on top of the correct number.

Sorting and making patterns with Halloween manipulatives.

Friends helping each other out putting together puzzles.

Using wooden lines and curves to make letters.  We use two big curves (grandes courbes) to make the letter O.

We use 1 big line (grande ligne) and 2 small lines (petites lignes) to make the letter F.

Then we practiced making the letter L with our special magna doodles.

"Grande ligne et petite ligne" to make the letter L.

The boys and girls also practiced printing the letter L in their printing booklets.

Placing our friends in order from smallest to biggest.

We also placed the pumpkins in order from smallest (le plus petit) to the biggest (le plus grand).

The children cut and put the jack'o'lanterns in order from smallest to biggest.

We are getting very good at cutting.

Making Halloween patterns.

Naming numbers in French.

Mme Pam has been teaching us about sharing our thoughts and being respectful listeners during Sharing Circles.  Ask your child to tell you about the book" Stick and Stone" that Pam read to us.  It is about 2 special friends.

Trying to see if our marble maze will work.

A square turned into 2 triangles.

Making a pretend birthday cake.
