Week Two !

Week two and everyone is settling into our Kindergarten with such ease. It’s been a week of making new friends, discovering and exploring the new classroom, and meeting new teachers.

Our day begins with a morning song, Calendar, Hundred chart, and Days of the week song.

Two new programs were introduced this week. In Literacy we began our first part of our Daily Five Reading program. Read to Self is the first part where we picked our Just Right Books for our personal bins. Ask your children some of the great reading spots they chose to Read in. (Pics to follow)

In Math we started our first unit- Patterning. We learned the word Core Pattern, growing pattern (extend) and next. This week we practiced identifying the core pattern and transferring it to an ABC pattern.

We are discovering the many diiferent activities within the room such as the dress-up and kitchen, the building centre, the craft area, the letter centre and of course the math centre where we choose what we want to do.

Today you will find the first Scholastic Book Form in your child’s Note Tote. The date due is September 20th. Scholastic has made it easy to buy books. You can shop online and pay from their site. I will be sending the forms home monthly if you are interested. Please try to empty the note tote on a daily basis. There will be days where it will be empty and days where there will be lots.  Just a gentle reminder…please include a spoon or fork in your child’s lunchbox.

Thanks to everyone for making the beginning of the school year such an easy start. Shana Tovah to everyone and please if you have any questions or comments you can email me at j.darwish@theojcs.ca
