Fall Changes

 

What a busy week we had in Kinder! We are continuing our work with shapes and are beginning to explore sorting. We wondered "What is sorting?" using our knowledge and experiences we shared how we sort items in our everyday lives (toys, food, fruit, coloured items). We read the book Sort it Out by Barbra Mariconda and used our detective glasses to find Packy's sorting rule. During centre time each student had the opportunity to sort shapes using the teacher tool (smartboard). 

We continue our work with Friend of the Day. We are asking questions to get to know our friends and are exploring different ways to represent our age (dots, tally marks, and our fingers). We are continuing to use Kid Writing with our word bubblegum and the magic line. Please ask your child "What is word bubblegum?"

We went on a fall walk, observed the fall changes and searched fall items found around our school. We even made fall angels! 

We sat in a sharing circle, using our senses (sight, touch, smell, and hearing) we shared our thoughts/ideas of leaves and how leaves change during the fall. We also learned how to draw a picture of a leaf and label each part of the leaf. We had so much fun being scientists and observing the changes of leaves. We use the outdoors often in our learning, With the colder weather approaching, a reminder to send your child to school with weather appropriate clothing each day.

Way to go Kenneth Taylor School!!!

With the generous help of our families and our community, we have raised a record amount of $1735.00 for the Terry Fox Foundation!
