This week in Kindergarten...
We began our week by learning about the letter "F" and the sound it makes. We read a story called Fifi Ferret's Flute and listened for all the words that began with the letter F. We practiced making capital and lower case letter Fs on our mini whiteboards before using our fine motor journals. Ask me what sound F makes and what some words are that begin with the letter F.
Next, we learned about the meaning behind Orange Shirt Day. The AM class went to an assembly hosted by the Grade 3 students. We also watched a couple of short videos from CBC Kids that helped build our understanding about Orange Shirt Day. Kindergarten students helped to create people for the beautiful art piece outside our gym for the assembly.
We continued our learning about numbers by representing the number two in a variety of ways. We showed how to make two using our fingers and through noticing pairs such as socks, legs and arms. We practiced making the number two on whiteboards and then represented the number two using the numeral, drawing pictures, tally marks and a 10 frame.
F is for FALL. We read a non-fiction called Fall to explore the season and the changes we see in the fall. We practiced having a conversation with a peer about the different things we notice in the fall. In our visual journals, we drew pictures and coloured as many things as we were able to about things we see in the fall. Ask me about what I know about fall!
