A Week of Learning, Creativity, and Fun in Kindergarten!

Hello Families! This week was full of creativity, learning, and fun! Monday We started the day by drawing our February self-portraits. It’s always amazing to see how much the children’s drawings change and improve each month! After that, we read When I Am Feeling Loved and discussed what makes us feel loved. The students shared heartwarming stories and wrote about their ideas in their journals. For math, we played a fun number recognition game using a bean bag toss—students took turns tossing a bean bag onto a large sheet of paper with numbers and then practiced writing and representing the number with drawings on their whiteboards.
Tuesday We had a pizza party! We read Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party, then created our own pizzas using different shapes. Students had the chance to be creative with their toppings while counting the circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles on their pizzas. We also worked on letter sounds and blending CVC words, helping to build early reading skills.
Wednesday We focused on the letter E! Students practiced writing it on their whiteboards and took turns coming up to the smartboard to demonstrate writing the letter for the class. It was great to see them so engaged and proud of their work!
Thursday We explored our sense of hearing by listening to different farm animal sounds and guessing which animals made them. Students drew their guesses before we revealed the answers. Later, we read The Hat by Jan Brett and talked about the beginning, middle, and end of the story. We also discussed how the hedgehog felt when the other animals laughed at him, encouraging empathy.
Friday We started the morning with puzzles, challenging students to solve different types. Then we had an exciting art day with multiple stations! - Bubble Art – Blowing bubbles into a plate and catching them on paper. - Smush Art – Adding paint to paper, folding it, and seeing the colorful designs. - Shamrock Craft – Coloring, cutting, and gluing shamrocks all on their own!
To wrap up the week, we finished learning about letter E, had centre time, and enjoyed some outdoor play in the sunshine.
It was a fantastic week of learning and fun! 🌟 Cheers, Ms.Infante

Five senses in kindergarten

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...

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...
