Farewell to Kindergarten 2020-2021!

 Kindergarten is almost over!! 

Saying good-bye to my Kinders with a special surprise!

Wishing everyone a safe and fun summer! 

 Remote Learning at Home will continue until June  4th.

Sharing Time and vowels

                                        Everyone was invited to participate in Sharing Time today. Bring something that starts with a vowel, tell us what it is, and tell us which vowel it starts with!! Everyone got to share whatever they brought.... but these kids brought something that starts with a vowel and were able to tell us what it is/what vowel it started with.......

Thank you to everyone for understanding that the school is just following the latest Public Health Order. And thank you to everyone who quickly changed your routine to keep your kids at home for remote learning during this latest Manitoba Public Heath Order. We are trying to keep everyone safe!!   And last, but not least, thank you to all Critical Care Workers for the work they do during this pandemic!

I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on May 31st. 

I will be in touch by email.

Everyone had fun on the Play Structure today!

HOME READING books tomorrow.

REMINDER: that according to the Public Health Rules that were released yesterday, we will be switching to 

REMOTE LEARNING on Wednesday ... until May28th.

Readers

We continue to build our confidence in seeing ourselves as readers!  We have been learning about the "Concepts of Print". This includes...

• read from left to right 
• read starting at the top of the page and go down
• match print with 1 to 1 correspondence.... usually by using our finger to point to one word as we read it
• look at the pictures to help tell the story
• look for the sight words that we have already learned
• look at the letters/pictures to help identify unfamiliar words
• notice the punctuation at the end of the sentence
• read with expression
• at the end of the story, be able to answer some questions about the story, and briefly retell what the story was about
• enjoy reading!

Sequencing....

 

                                                  Rhyming

                                                    Creativity in building patterns!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers!

(and for those kids who wear cloth masks, just a reminder to wash your child's masks!)

 

PRIVATE

 Today Mrs. Gagne stopped by and talked to the class about "private parts". We reviewed the correct names for these parts of the body, and talked about how the parts of the body that would be covered by underwear/bathing suit are PRIVATE and no one else has the right to look at or touch our private parts. (Except for a doctor, or maybe our parents in certain circumstances.) Then we did a cut and paste where everyone chose clothing to dress their person in.
