AM Kindergarten 2024-2025

 Thank you everyone for wearing your orange shirts today! (Or a colour close to it) We learned about the Indigenous people today by reading "Every Child Matters." We discussed how every child matters and is important. We celebrate our differences and we love that we are all unique. Today, we practiced our colouring, writing, and drawing skills by creating our Orange Shirt Day pictures (see picture below). We also took a nice group picture. Great job Kindergarten. A reminder that there is no school tomorrow or on Monday.

  We all look so nice today for picture day! We took a class picture in our room before going down to get our individual professional photos done. We of course had to take a silly one too! 

 Today we read the story "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" Every person has an invisible bucket. When someone is happy and does kind acts, their bucket is full. When someone does unkind actions or if someone does something unkind to them, their bucket is empty. We call it bucket filling and bucket dipping. We agreed that we would all try our best to be bucket fillers every day! We can be bucket fillers by sharing, being kind, smiling at others, asking people to play with us, and many more things!

In the coming weeks, your child will bring home a large piece of paper that looks like this. It is called a Newschart. Each day it will be a new child's turn in our class. They will tell the class things about themselves that they want to share. It will help us get to know each other better. While we do our newschart we look at the period at the end of each sentence and point out repeated words. After a child shares, we practice asking them questions. We discuss the difference between a question and a comment. If your child hasn't brought one home yet they will have their turn soon. Here is a picture of mine for an example:

 Welcome to our classroom blog. I will be sharing pictures and updates here for you to see. 😀
