A Vibrant Start to Colour Days in Kindergarten!

Hello Families,

What an exciting and colorful first week we’ve had in kindergarten! Here’s a look at the highlights from our first week as we explored the colors red, orange, yellow, and green.

Exploring the Gym:

Our first week in the gym was a huge success! The children were thrilled to experience the larger space and all the new opportunities it offered. We began by discussing gym safety, ensuring everyone knew how to stay safe while having fun. Our animal walk was a highlight, where the kids pretended to be different animals, mimicking their sounds and actions. They also enjoyed a game called Silly Banana, which quickly became a favorite.

Library Adventure:

On Monday, we visited the library and met our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Haydu. The children were amazed by the array of books and were excited to choose one to bring home. It was a great introduction to the library, and we look forward to many more visits in the future.

Music Fun:

Our music session with Ms. Mandin was another big hit. The children had a blast singing songs, playing instruments, and dancing. It was a joyful time that allowed them to express themselves and explore music in a lively, engaging way.

Colour Week:

Colour Week was full of colourful activities! Each day began with our afternoon meeting, where we sang our welcome song, reviewed our expectations, and got to know each other better. We discussed our favorite colours and animals, and played fun name games to help everyone learn each other's names.

Each day focused on a different colour. The children sang songs, listened to stories, and identified items associated with that day's colour. They amazed me with their ability to find and name so many things in our world that matched the colour of the day. We practiced printing colour words and created drawings that represented each colour. The fun continued as we mixed playdough colours to discover how combining different colours can create new ones!

A tasty highlight of Colour Week was our colorful food tasting! The children enjoyed sampling foods associated with each colour. We savored mandarins for orange, limes for green, and corn chips for yellow. It was a delicious and interactive way to reinforce our colour lessons and explore how colours appear in the foods we eat.

During center time, the kids continued to bond, playing and interacting with each other while exploring different activities.

It was wonderful to see the children’s colorful outfits and snacks each day, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of our week. We had so much fun, and the excitement and enthusiasm of our students made it all the more special.

Thank you for your continued support and for sharing in the excitement of our classroom adventures. Stay tuned for more updates on our Colour Days and all the fun and learning that lies ahead!

Five senses in kindergarten

Image
This Week in Kindergarten... On Monday, we started the week by introducing our letter of the week—U! We also had a lesson on our five senses, where the kids learned how important they are. We discovered that we use our senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste every day to explore the world around us. In math, we learned a new game called Tug of War, which was a huge hit! The kids had so much fun playing with a partner and are getting really good at recognizing numbers on a die quickly. In gym, we began our gymnastics unit, practicing different balances such as one-point balance, two- and three-point balance, V-sit balance, and bridge balance. We also learned some fun jumps, including pike jumps, star jumps, tuck jumps, and half-turn jumps. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had a guest teacher, and the class practiced writing uppercase and lowercase U. On Thursday, we talked about sharing circles and how important it is to listen to and respect one another. We read the story ...

Valentines week and assembly week!

Hello Families! Last week was such a blast! We had so many fun and meaningful activities that engaged our kinders in learning and creativity. We kicked off Monday with science, exploring the sense of touch. The kinders investigated balloons filled with different objects—some were soft, hard, bumpy, or smooth. They took turns feeling each one and making guesses about what was inside. The excitement was contagious when we finally opened the balloons to reveal their hidden surprises! On Tuesday, we had a heartfelt discussion about love. We read the book Love Is and shared our thoughts on what love means to each of us. The kinders then expressed their ideas through drawings and sentences, showcasing some truly thoughtful and creative responses. It was wonderful to see their different perspectives on love! Wednesday was all about Valentine’s Day fun! We started the day by decorating bags for our valentines, ensuring they were ready to collect sweet notes from their friends. Then, w...

Kindness Week in Kindergarten!

Hello families! This week was filled with exciting learning experiences and hands-on activities! Monday: We kicked off the week by introducing the letter Bb! The kids had fun brainstorming words that start with B, such as banana, balloon, and butterfly. We practiced writing the uppercase and lowercase Bb and played a sorting game to differentiate between words that start with B and words that do not. Tuesday: We continued exploring shapes and went on a classroom scavenger hunt! The kids worked in pairs to find and identify different shapes around the room, such as squares on books, circles on clocks, and triangles in decorations. Afterward, we discussed where we see these shapes in the real world. Wednesday: We had a meaningful discussion about Pink Shirt Day, talking about kindness, respect, and standing up for others. The kids designed their own pink shirts with positive messages and pictures that represent kindness. We also attended a wonderful friendship assembly presente...
