Orange Shirt Day & Terry Fox Run

 We had another busy week in Kindergarten!! Wednesday September 30th was Orange Shirt Day. Please ask your child what they learned about Orange Shirt Day. 


We continued our work exploring letters and letter sounds. We touched upon the letters /t/ and /d/. We practiced the letter sound, letter identification, and challenged ourselves to find words that begin with each letter. We continued our work with Friend of the Day, using our word bubblegum we S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D out the word by saying each sound slowly and identifying the letter using our phonemic awareness. We put the sounds back together and repeated the word! 


With your child, discuss word bubblegum and ask them how we use it in the classroom. 

We explored shapes and art this week! We used creative license to make our own pictures using rectangles. 


Please ask your child "What did you create using rectangles?"



During centre time we had the opportunity to explore with shapes. Some of our friends made people and animals using shapes. 



On Thursday we learned about a Canadian Hero named Terry Fox. He showed us persistence and how we need to try and try again to reach a goal. We ran in support of Terry Fox! We explored the H.E.A.R.T. values and created goals for ourselves that we will accomplish this year.
