Who are YOU running for?

Here are some pics of our Terry Fox Run on Wednesday. There were some pretty red faces, and some exhausted looks, but we kept going because Terry didn't stop, so we weren't going to either. Except for some sips of water maybe. Or to pick up some flowers and leaves. And maybe to lie in the shade in the grass. Just a typical day in Kindergarten :)
 
 


Way to go KINDIES you would have made Terry PROUD!!!!

Terry Fox Run

FABULOUS FRIDAY

In Kindergarten our JK's regularly do a variety of activities to practice their name. Here is one of our superstar students and his amazing work!

 We also get to spend a lot of time outdoors, exploring nature and using our senses. Check out our leaf rubbings.

 We even got to see our leaves close up! Under a micro-camera!!!!! SO COOL

 And all this was done in ONE DAY!!!!!!!! So Fabulous Friday? I think so!!!!!

 

What's new

We are just beginning to read in Kindergarten and since some of us don't even know all of the alphabet, reading in basic patterns and familiar print is a great idea. This activity was a little tricky at first but with some modelling they were fantastic!!!! I think I may do this again with traffic signs.

Learning to read familiar print- this is easy to do at home too!

Chester is our Racoon friend, he comes to visit us sometimes and we have his cousin in our Library!!!

Here are some pictures of our beautiful "kissing hand" artwork.
 

Dot Day Festivities

Dot day was here and gone in a flash by boy did we have loads of fun!!!! We dressed up in dots, ate dots, drew, cut, pasted and moulded dots too! Check out some of our fun activities.

We got all twisted up on "dots"

We used "dots" to represent numbers and make pictures

We rolled, cut and flattened our own "dots" out of play dough

We guessed how many "dots" were in the candy jar and we sorted our "dot" treats

We even created patterns

We also created some of our own beautiful "dot art" that will be showcased in our classroom ! Those photos are still to come!

Happy International Dot Day

The Dot Song

Tomorrow is the BIG day

I am so excited for school to begin tomorrow. I am like a little kid all over again. Here are some great back to school reads that you can find at your local library. If you don't have a library card I suggest you get one! Its a great way to keep your child interested in books while saving some $ too!
