Our Kindie-Town map continues to grow as we learn more about the people, vehicles, and road signs in our community. "Whose Hands are These?" shared information about many helpers in our community. Students drew pictures in their journals of their favorite community helper.
We noticed that our road signs also can be identified by colours, shapes and symbols.
We drew examples in our visual journals.

🩷Wednesday, February 28 was PINK SHIRT DAY! Many students chose to wear pink to support kindness and anti-bullying. The story "Say Something" by Peter Reynold explores many ways that a single voice can make a difference. Every day we have a chance to say something with our actions, our words, and our voices. Kindness Counts!!
NEW THIS WEEK...
We started doing a daily message! We go in alphabetical order!
We also added in new centres! Ask your child which one they liked playing at!
We continue to learn letter sounds! We have been learning about partnerships of letters that are "noisy" and "quiet". We know that we don't add an "uh" sound when we say letter sounds and will offer our knowledge to others if we hear someone make that error!
We have also been excited to meet the "Superstars" (aka vowels) who say their sound louder and longer than the other letters. You need a superstar in order to make a word and we have been using the "tap and sweep" strategy to begin learning how to blend sounds together to make words. Ask your kiddo to teach you about lively letter sounds. We will also be posting more videos to our Google classroom to help with these skills!
HUGE THANKS TO THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE PLACED ORDERS FROM OUR SCHOLASTIC READING CLUB!! Our classroom is earning bonus points we can use to purchase books for the classroom- thank you for your support!
We will be placing our next classroom order on Monday March 4, 2024
