Wondertime
Today we reviewed the letters: s,t,j,p,m,c,,d and a. We talked about the new letter H. We made three letter words with these letters. We made sure the vowel; A was in the middle of the word. You can help me make three letter words at home. We are learning to blend the sounds together. We are bringing home an H sheet and we tried to stamp our own words. We had lots of fun at Wondertime. We all played together in the classroom. It was our last day before November break. We will miss our friends.

Halloween Fun and Games
Today we had our Halloween Party. We played ghost bowling, Spider Racing, Eyeball racing and we made lots of crafts. We made a popcorn hand, a witch's broom, a ghost and lots of other fun crafts. We played Bite the Marshmallow and decorated a yummy cookie. We had special cupcakes for snack. It was a super fun day in Kindergarten.
A big thank you to all our wonderful volunteers. We could not have this party without you.

You Say Potato and I say Potato
Today we made French fries and ketchup with potatoes and tomatoes from the garden. We watched a video story book called, The Couch Potato. We learned how potatoes are grown and harvested. We guessed what ingredients are in ketchup. We guessed, tomatoes, salt, and sugar. We were right. Ask me what else we put in the ketchup. We are bringing home a special potato pet and our potato family drawing. It was a fine french fry kind of day in Kindergarten.

Creepy Carrots
Today Mrs. Kitson read us the book Creepy Carrots. It was a kind of scary, not so scary funny book. Ask me what happened in the book. We had a carrot as a special treat. They were from our kindergarten garden. They were juicy and crisp. We made our own creepy carrot characters. We practiced our letters: and talked about the new letter C. We learned it makes two sounds. Ask me what sounds C makes. We have a Halloween house in our classroom. It was fun to dress up in Halloween costumes. We are excited for Halloween.

Goodbye Garden
Today we practiced writing our numbers to 10. We played a math game called bump it. We have to match the number of objects with the numeral on a dice. Ask me why it is called Bump it. We graphed unifix cubes. We practiced our letters and we talked about our new letter L. We can now make words with the letters we have learned. At home I can practice these letters:: S< T<J<P<M<D>A and L. If we know the letters and sounds we can start to blend the sounds together and make words. In the afternoon we pulled onions and potatoes out of the garden. We also pulled out all of the tomato plants. It was a grateful garden day in KIndergarten.

Two and three are tricky. We played Listening Larry. We are listening for rhyming words and beginning and ending sounds. We talked about leaves. We learned why leaves have veins. We drew veins on our own leaves and painted them with water colours. In the afternoon we had fun at Wondertime. Some of us like to build big structures. Mrs. Kitson was excited to see what good builders we are.It was a busy building day in Kindergarten.
