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.

 

Comment ça va?

Every day after attendance, I ask the children how they are feeling.  "Comment ça va?"

Sentence Structures!

These are some of the sentence structures that we will be using daily in kindergarten all year long.  I am introducing these new sentences a few at a time.  We have been working on "Bonjour!", "Au revoir!" "Est-ce que je peux aller aux toilettes s'il-vous-plait?" and "Est-ce que je peux me laver les mains s'il-vous-plait?".  I have added other sentences that we will be practicing over the next few weeks.

Please feel free to have your child practice along with me.  I will be adding more slideshows of all the new French vocabulary taught in class as well as videos of the children singing songs and reciting poems throughout the year.

Let me know if ever you have any questions or concerns.

Merci!
Mme Godin

Les couleurs - slideshow!

As promised, I will be posting some of our new vocabulary slideshows.  Please take a few minutes each night to practice naming the colours in French.

Orange Shirt Day!

Monday, September 30th, marks Orange Shirt Day.  Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for Indigenous communities, local governments, businesses and schools to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope, for generations of children to come.

Let us support this important cause by wearing an orange shirt to school on this day.
