At this time we have 31 students enrolled in our full day Kindergarten program! We are able to invite the support of another Kindergarten teacher for part of the day to support our students.  Please come to our Family Evening on Thursday, September 10^th from 6:30-7:30 pm and meet Mrs. Queen.

Mrs. Queen and Mrs. Malik will work together to provide meaningful learning experiences for all of the students.

                                                       

 Today was our second day having all of our students together for a full day of school. Thank you all for  being patient with our hand-to-hand dismissal procedure. Student safety is of upmost importance in the  Calgary Board of Education.

We practiced writing our names

Ask me to point to the first letter in my name and what is the name of the letter?

                          

 

                                                 We also finished painting our flowers...

We read,
  
                 Ask me about this book....        Pip thought that his tree was sick..
  Ask me what season is this...
We went out and collected some leaves....   Ask me what is happening to the leaves...

Ask me about my nature walk

                             

Ask me what did I do....

What sound did I hear...   crunch!

We read,

 
Ask me how we had to tell mom how to learn our classroom rules... look at the picture and explain...

 Ask me how do I need to talk in the library..

                        My little Kindergarten scientist shared his discovery with his friends...

Stirling is explaining how he mixed red and yellow and made orange!

Good job Stirling!

Gym time

                                                  Seasons Game! Ask me how we played this game

                                      Fall                                                      Winter

                                        Spring                                                Summer

Learning to wait for our turn patiently. We do not put our mouth on the fountain....
                                                                    Ask me why?

We read,

  and practiced good manners..

Some Learning tasks

 We gathered around the building centre to observe how Timmy's and Luca's building was standing...
                                                                Ask me what I thought....
                                  Some  student comments, " It is big at the bottom." " It is tall."
              Zoe said,"It is tall and has a wide bottom." We practiced what does wide look like...
                                    Ask me to show you wide and narrow with my arms..

Royce said, "My building is not falling because it has a flat platform."

Well done!

What shapes are these?

                                                            Scientist at work.....

                               We also visited our community garden

Ask me to name the vegetables...

                                 How did the pumpkins feel...   Using our 5 senses we came up with
                                       "smooth", "hard",  "has lines." " have a stem"

Thanks,

Mrs. Malik
