Exploring Our Senses and Welcoming Spring!

Hello Families! This week was full of exciting learning and hands-on activities!
On Monday, we started our day with independent reading, allowing students to choose whether to read at their tables or on the carpet. Then, we wrapped up our Five Senses unit by exploring the sense of taste! The kids had the chance to try foods that were sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Ask them what their favorite taste was! They had to decide which taste bud was their favourite and majority went for sweet!
On Tuesday, we talked about how spring is on its way! We discussed signs of spring and shared what we already know about the season. Students then drew in their journals about one thing they are looking forward to in spring.
On Wednesday, we started the day with a fun rhyming and word-blending activity. We also learned how to write the letter K! The students practiced on whiteboards and took turns writing the letter Kk on the Smart Board. In gym, we learned a new game that focused on balance and control. The kids had a blast balancing bean bags on their heads while moving across the gym!
On Thursday, we continued practicing the letter K by brainstorming and writing words that start with K. The students came up with so many creative words!
It was another great week of learning! Thank you for your continued support. 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...
