Mrs. Kitson read us different versions of The Little Red Hen story. Ask me about the stories. We talked about the letter Q and who it always has a friend around. We drew wheat in our nature books. We had lots of fun in gym. We ran and ran and ran. We went outside for a nature walk. It was a fun day in Kindergarten.

Messy Painting
Today we had lots of fun playing around with paints. It was very messy!!! We made patterns in our lifebook. We are getting very good at making different patterns. We talked about the Letter Y. We played a fun playdough game. We practiced counting and comparing numbers with the playdough balls we made. We practiced making patterns with our numeracy tubs. In gym we played a fun four corners exercise game. We watched an animated storybook, called, The Stick. Ask me about the story. We imagined what we would make our stick turn in to. It was so windy so we stayed inside and played with our treasure boxes. It was a fun day in kindergarten.

We were all excited to see each other after the holidays! We had a sharing circle and talked about our holidays. Some of the children shared their Home for the Holidays books. The Gingerbread Man sent us an email and a package with books to read. Mrs. Kitson read the book The Koala that Could. Ask me about the book. We have new life books. We are starting to write more words. We are copying print and sounding out words with Mrs. Kitson. We are learning different secrets about letters. We talked about the letter X. We practiced our letter sounds on the Ipads, using Pocket Phonics. We translated different patterns with the items in our numeracy tubs. We spent the afternoon in the forest. It was a beautiful day!

The Polar Express

We practiced our colouring and cutting skills when we made our own cut out train. We played a dice game. We had fun putting pictures into hot chocolate cups around the room. We had to match pictures with the first letter in the word. In the afternoon we had a popcorn party. It was a choo choo kind of day in Kindergarten.
