This Week in Kindergarten: A Spooktacular Time!
We read the story of Spookly the Square Pumpkin and
made our very own pumpkin patch using different 2D shapes like circles,
triangles, rectangles, and squares! It was so much fun to see all the different
shapes come together.
We also listened to
a super funny story read by the author Aaron Reynolds! It was about Jasper
Rabbit and his glow-in-the-dark underwear. We laughed a lot! Be sure to ask
your child about their favorite part of the story!
In our school-wide Pumpkinella activity, we got to see some amazing
pumpkin carvings made by our SVS students, and a few of our kindergarten
friends had their pumpkins on display too! A big thank you to all the families
who donated pumpkins for our science adventures and for carving!
This week, many families celebrated Diwali, the Festival of
Light! We learned about this colorful celebration and the special traditions
that families have. The kindergarteners listened to beautiful Indian music and
found out about the special lamps called Diyas.
We studied an art form known as Rangoli that is often
created on the floor using sand to promote good luck; although we did not use
sand, each Kindergarten student had an opportunity to create their own Rangoli
art piece with loose parts. We used a circular base shape and talked about the
patterns and symmetry often found in this colourful artwork. Happy Diwali to our families who celebrate!
Halloween
Library Day is on Monday! Thank you for helping your child to remember their library book AND plastic protector BAG each Monday!!
