Sangea

Today we went to the gym. We met a group of drummers. They were called Sangea. We drummed and danced. It was so much fun! We were pretty tired when we finished. In the morning we practiced our letters and sounds. We are practicing blending our letters and reading three letter words. We are bringing home another decodable book. The title is "The Cat" We should put all out books in a special box or place so we can practice reading these books everyday. This is a special part of our reading program. We are also looking for snap words in our emails from Gingy. Our snap words are: the, of, and, a , to, in, is you , that and it. We can look for these words when you are reading books to me at nights. We can also put them on the fridge and practice memorizing them. We are learning about patterns . We are making patterns with two and three elements. We can look for patterns around the house. We had a drumming kind of day in KIndergarten.

Maker Space Fun

Today it was another crazy cold day. We had indoor recess again. We built a stage in the Maker Space. Mrs. Kitson showed us a video about weaving. We talked about how the indigenous people would weave different things . They used feathers, hair, and plant materials. We have our own looms and we are starting to weave with yarn. Mrs. Kitson told us it takes perserverence. She asked us who we learned about in September that showed us what perseverance was. We remembered Terry Fox. We had a fun day in Kindergarten.
