Earlier this week we made 'Halloween Hands' by filling plastic gloves with random items and water. Today we saw our frozen hands and tried melting them with salt and warm water.

Ask your child who we saw and spoke to today via video chat!! It was so nice to see and hear her voice 😉😁

The children have been reciting the poem, "5 Little Pumpkins" in many ways; with felt boards and props, puppet plays, singing it with hand actions, etc. They LOVE when the lights are shut off after they say "and OUT go the lights." Ask your child if they can sing the poem to you!

Our 'special me' name game. A great way for our friends to get to know their peers' names, as well as teach letter recognition and language all in fun! Ask your child if they remember how many claps are in Austin's name 😉
We tried some yoga for the first time today. Excellent participation from everyone, good job kids! A great way to calm down and stretch it out after recess.
*A bit of sad news that we explained to the children today about our Mrs.Pucci; she will not be joining us until December. Some good news for the children though, we will skype with Mrs.Pucci next week! 💻
*We had reading buddies today! Grade 4 students came and read your child a book, asked them questions about the book and drew a picture about what they read. Well done! Ask your child if they remember their buddy's name! 📚

The children brainstormed a variety of ideas and we were able to transform our "house centre" to a "haunted house centre!" Not only are the children using their social skills as they role-play, share and converse with each other, we are observing math skills while our friends are counting, ordering and categorizing pumpkins and props.

We have been counting down the days until Mrs.Pucci is back. Get well Mrs.Pucci, we miss you and can't wait to show you how much we've grown in such a little period of time! ❤️
*A reminder, picture re-take day is Wednesday, October 12th.

A busy day in kindergarten! The letter "C" (ask your child if they remember what sound 'C' makes), lines, patterning, hand-eye coordination, and cars, lots and lots of car play going on lately.
