Kindergarten Week 3

In Kindergarten we have been learning about making friends and how to be a respectful friend.  One way we can be a good and respectful friend is by giving our peers compliments.  We have started doing a compliment train so that the students can practice giving and receiving compliments.  The students quickly learned that when we give and receive a compliment we feel happy.  Here are the compliments from one of our compliment trains:


Mrs. Donamo – “Melat I like your necklace”

Melat – “Kyla I like your bracelet”

Kyla – “Novah I like shoes”

Novah – “Qasim I like shoes”

Qasim – Nods yes when asked if he likes Rana’s mask

Rana – “Henry I like you”

Henry – “Kate I like your shirt”

Kate – “Jaylee I like your shoes”

Jaylee – “Kensi I like your headband”

Kensi – “Neiko I like your shoes”

Neiko – “Audie I like your shoes”

Audie – “Presley I like your hair”

Presley – “Bryce I like your shirt”

Bryce – “I like Yaseen plays at the park with me”

Yaseen – “Eric I like you playing in the park”

Eric – “Miss Anne I like you playing at park with my friends”

It is exciting that I have seen and heard the students taking their learning further by independently complimenting their friends throughout the week.  At home you can practice this by giving compliments to your child and having your child give compliments to family members.  Be sure to use your manners and say, "Thank you" when you get a compliment!

Exploring Nature Using Math, Drawings & Writing

Image
 The Weather this week was Awesome!  We went outside to learn about the signs of Spring, and to explore Nature by careful observations.  First, the students worked in small groups at Hula Hoop Stations, and took turns using the magnifying glasses to look closely at the ground inside the Hula Hoop area.  They then recorded their observations by drawing a picture of something they found in their Hula Hoop area, writing the corresponding numeral of how many they saw, and attempting to print the word of what they found.  Then we went for a Nature Walk and discussed signs of Spring.  The students noticed one of the trees was turning a light purple/orange colour and we talked about what plants need to survive.  They observed the trees very closely, and even found a spider and a ladybug!  It's interesting what you notice when you take the time to look closely at Nature!  Last the students were challenged to figure out which part of the hill they can...

What Do You Want to be When You Grow Up?

 The students have been learning about Community Helper Jobs and starting to think about what they want to be when they grow up.  Each child created a book of different community helper jobs and the tools that community helper would use.  Each child also got to create a video showcasing their learning about the job they want to have when they grow up.  Here is the first page of their books, which shows the job they wanted before learning about different jobs:
