This week in our JK classroom it was a fantastic time as we learned about our five senses. The kids were having a great time as they made use of their environment to explore their senses. It was quite a learning experience for them when they realized their environment can be used as their senses for example, “seeing” they looked around and found lots to see. We worked on letter “Bb” lots of fun creative art activities, making butterflies and bees. The kids are doing an amazing job at using phonetic sounds of the letters in finding words. For math, we discovered shapes are all around us and will continue to explore more. We were having a great learning experience as the kids used grasping tools to pick up balls, and place them in tubes, expanding. On some more math skills, first sorting by colors, then making patterns, and then counting how many balls can one too pulled. This is where measurement came into play. It’s such a phenomenal time at the end of the day when the kids present their masterpieces.

This past few weeks the Rainbow nursery class have been busy learning all about colours, shapes and patterns. They are learning what they are, how to identify them and how to connect them to the natural world. Daily discussions are happening at Circle Time and children have the opportunity to contribute their ideas and stories with the rest of the class. With teacher guidance, they are supported with vocabulary and open ended questions to help communicate their thoughts. Each activity, sensory bin and science experiment give the children a chance to explore colours, shapes and patterns. Through repetition and interactive activities children are gaining confidence and pride in their accomplishments. Way to go Rainbow’s!! Where do you see an AB or an ABC pattern?

The S.K group had a great week! Mother nature gifted us with snow and the kids had a blast rolling around in it, shoveling big snow mountains, creating snow angels, and coloring ice with chalk. The S.K class had a special visitor, Mrs. Habekost! They loved helping her skip count by 5 on our school tuff tray. We started to skip counting by 2's 5's and 10s then created fun crafts to show what we've learned.
Mrs. Sally Subtraction introduced us to a few new words- fewer, less, minus, and take away. We have a good understanding of addition up to 10...now on to bigger things- adding to 20. We got this! 😀
Have a great weekend.

This week in the JK room the kids were having an amazing time as they got to create and construct all their masterpieces. Using gears to build rocketships and blasting off to the backyard playground and much more. The children were using leaves and other materials to create beautiful collages and special cards and were very excited to write their messages. This week we worked on the letter ”Dd” by doing some very fun art activities to build sentences using the letter D. Treasure day was a blast as the children continue to find amazing items to bring in to present. Our French learning continues to be a fun time, where we play matching games with colours, months of the year, days of the week, and counting numbers. For Remembrance Day the children had some amazing stories to tell about their great-grandfathers. We read a poem and made some beautiful poppy art.

This week is the SK room we have been exploring numbers more in-depth- we completed our 'Teen Numbers Book', using various materials to count + counting on and counting all and how to add numbers together. We have been doing a great job skip counting by 5's. Their imagination during free play is filled with such creativity and the room is filled with their giggles. French this week we played a scavenger colour hunt game, danced to the days of the week song and practiced counting. The beautiful weather has been wonderful and we took advantage of it.
We read a book on Remembrance day and created masterpieces at the art table. We talked about why we wear poppies. Happy Remembrance day ❤️
To our sweet friend who brought us Poppy stickers to wear was very sweet, thank you.

What a fun week the rainbow room had. The Halloween party was a huge success, the children had so much fun playing in the sensory bins, dressing in costumes, having a special snack, and the best part going trick and treating.
The rest of the week was very busy learning about shapes. They enjoyed finding different shapes throughout the room. Example… pizza is a triangle, a table is a square and doing such wonderful crafts made out of shapes.
We are looking forward to learning about colours this week!

It was so great time listening to their stories they had to tell about their costumes. Treasure day continues to be an exciting time for our kids as they present their treasures. We worked on letters L and T this week. The past week we continued working on literacy through art, The children created beautiful paintings and told their stories. We worked on letter building using manipulatives and then creating words. We also are working on building sentences by unscrambling words. In our math department we were working on our number calendars recognizing that some months have 30 days and some have 31 days. We also worked on some patterning ,sorting, and counting as the kids build their masterpieces to present. This activities helps the kids in such a wonderful way to booster self-confidence, articulation, being creative as they build and lots more.
