Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to kindergarten! Thank you for all the parents that came out to Meet the Teacher Night! It was a pleasure meeting you all. 

This week's theme was All About Me. We made a book about ourselves, and wrote our name, how old we are, our favourite colour, drew a self-portrait and a picture of our family.

We learned the Mat Man song to help us with our self portraits. Mat Man teaches us body awareness and reminds us to draw all of our body parts. Ask your child to sing the Man Man song to you!

In math, we are learning how to sort. On our first day, we sorted our class by eye colour. Then, we graphed it and counted how many of each colour we had. We counted each column and learned that brown had the "most", and green had the "least".

 We also sorted our shoes! First, we sorted them by colour, and then we sorted all the shoes that had shoelaces from the ones that had Velcro.

We can sort anything! Look at some of the manipulatives we sorted:

Matching the same dinosaurs

Sorting by colour

Soring blocks by colours

Sorting all the pink objects

Stay tuned for more fun things next week! Have a great weekend!
