  June 18     Sending Kindergarten Materials Home- send a bag to school     Next week we will be sending home all Kindergarten work and indoor shoes.  Please send a bag to school with your child to assist them with bringing everything home.     Math     We continued our discussion of 3D shapes and their unique characteristics (sides, points, roll, don't roll).  We did an activity where students had to sort common objects but what 3D shape they are.     Every Child Matters     We continued our discussion about Every Child Matters but talking about what matters to us and drawing a picture of it in our journals.  Ask your child what matters to them.     Senses and Connection to the Land     We went outside this week and sat  in the garden and the field for a 'Sit Spot' Senses activity.  We talked about what we saw, heard, smelled, and touched.       Upcoming Dates:     June 24 – Last day of school for AM Kinders   June 25 - P M Kinders attend-last day of schoo l       Have a g

  June 11     Math     We continued to discuss 3D objects this week. Some have sides, points and can roll and some objects don't! Ask your child if they can find a sphere, cube, cylinder or cone in your house.       We also revisited Patterns. The children were asked to fill in the missing shape in the pattern and then  colour  the AB, AAB or ABC pattern. Ask your child if they can see patterns anywhere at home as they are all around us!     Literacy     Lots of rhyming talk this week in our classroom. Children were asked to draw a picture of two rhyming words and then use their knowledge of letters and sounds to hear and record the dominate sound(s) in each word. Have fun practicing rhyming at home.       Upcoming Dates:     June 18 -  AM Kinders attend   June 24 – Last day of school for AM Kinders   June 25 - P M Kinders attend-last day of schoo l     Have a great weekend!     Michelle Romanko and Julie  Kawchuk

Rhyming words are words that have the same or similar ending sounds. The children were asked to generate their own rhyming words when asked what rhymes 'with _____?' Ask your child what rhymes with cat or sun this weekend!     Living /Non-Living     The children explored and learned about what types of objects are living and what is non-living. They learned that living things need the following: nutrients, can grow, can breathe, be able to move, and reproduce. Ask your child if they can name a living and a non-living object.     Weather     With the hot weather this week, it was a perfect time to discuss what types of clothing we could wear in the differen
