This week students worked on discovering what words start with the first letter of their name. We looked in books and used alphabet flash cards to choose and copy words. This work is part of our alphabet inquiry focus. Play a game with your child to see how many words you can come up with together that start with the first letter of their name.
On Wednesday during buddies, the grade 4s interviewed the kindergarten students and recorded their answers. Then the grade 4s helped the kindergarten buddies to ask and record questions for their buddy. It was wonderful to see the grade 4s show support and leadership towards the kindergarten students. Some grade 4s had the kindergarten student trace their words or made dots for them to help in recording the answers.
We have introduced the concept of pattern. We can use our bodies to make patterns (clap,snap,clap,snap . . .) We can create patterns from household items (fork,spoon,fork,spoon . . .)
We can use words (hello,goodbye,hello,goodbye . . .) Have some fun with your child and make some patterns together. If you or your child write down the pattern, have them bring it to school to share.
-No kindergarten on Thurs., November 21 and Friday, November 22 as we have parent teacher conferences. Please be sure to book a conference time. Your child should attend the conference with you if possible. This is a celebration of their learning.
- Wednesday, November 20th is dress as your favourite book character
