MTS Kindergarten : Week of September 14-18

This week in Kindergarten...

We began our week with continuing to practice routines and school rules by learning about expected and unexpected behaviour. We read the story David Goes to School and talked about things that David does in the story that is "unexpected" and what we can do to show "expected" behaviour. We then continued our practice using gluesticks by doing a picture sort in our visual journals of things that are expected and unexpected.

We celebrated Dot Day by reading the story The Dot by Peter H Reynolds. In our visual journals we drew different things we could make from a dot. Ask me what I drew! We also used different mediums to colour large dots red to contribute to a whole school art project. Each grade was given a different colour to make dots. When it is completed, we will share a photo in our blog.

Next we read some stories about food and entered into our Kindergarten Kitchen to become chefs! We introduced our new school tool - scissors! We learned the rules about scissors and how to use scissors to make scissor salad to feed our customers, Waffles and Chestnut! They were soooo hungry!

We also read stories about being ourselves and being unique. We practiced using our scissors again by cutting out our names and gluing them into our visual journals. A good thing to practice at home is recognizing our names, as well as learning to write our names.

For the afternoon class, it was our turn to become Kindergarten Scientists to complete our apple taste test. We used our senses to touch, smell and taste 3 different kinds of apples. We charted which ones we liked and didn't like in our visual journals. We then coloured an apple to make a class graph. Ask me which apple was my favourite.
