Today we had Ms. Hebert for the whole day so we got lots done! It is always nice to have an extra set of hands.
We worked on dreambox today for math. We did some work with the rekenereks. It was great seeing the kinders trying to figure out the numbers! Here is a link to what we did today!

We are also going to work on our Christmas glyph today since we have extra hands. :) We are making a Santa that will represent information about us and our thoughts about Christmas.
I am away tomorrow so there will not be an entry. See you on Monday! :)

Today we are back at our routines. We are working so well as a group. Ms. Shelly and I are so proud of everyone!
We are making new groups for our interventions in the mornings and we are so excited to see the new groups and the learning that will take place.
Today we talked about probability in math groups. This is a very tricky concept to learn. We played our snowman game and they enjoyed the spinners! We will look at this concept again next week as well. We are still looking at numbers as well. So dot plates, 10 and 5 frames, and dice are our focus as well.
Jan Brett is still our author and we are reading The Wild Christmas Reindeer!

Gingerbread Day!
Today we made gingerbread cookies. We made mittens, boys, stars, snowflakes and trees. We had alot of fun! I will tweet some pictures as well. As a class we talked about measurement, shapes, and cooperation. It was loads of fun! :)
It was very quiet at school today as the rest of the school was away at RCI watching Cinderella. But we had alot of fun here all by ourselves.
We are still working on our Christmas crafts and having lots of fun with it!
Here's to a great rest of the week! Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Happy Monday
Hi all, I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I saw a few faces at the Santa Claus Parade. :)
Today we worked on echo reading and we are also doing a review on letters and sounds and then other groups worked on word families, writing and acitivities on the ipads. It is really great to see the groups work so well in the room.
In math, we will be looking at probability this week. We will be using a spinner that will help us build a snowman. Take a look at twitter to see what the game looks like.
We are also working on making sure we can write our names. Please look for a name writing kit that might come home with your child. If we send one home with your child, it will be in the front of your child's agenda. Not all students will be getting a kit. So please don't panic if you don't get one.
Have a great night and enjoy the snow.

Wow only two more weeks til Christmas Holidays.We are busy practising for the Christmas Concert which will be on the last school day before Christmas Holidays. Please check the newsletter for more details.
We are writing letters to Santa and sending them to myFM. Santa and Kurtis the Elf read them on air. I will try to give you a heads up for when they will be read. Thanks to myFM for doing this every year! It is great fun to hear the letters on the radio.
We worked on 5 and 10 frames today. We are really working hard trying to see numbers in groups and subitize them. Dice are a great way to practice subitizing numbers.
Today we also read The Hat by Jan Brett. What a great book. I love all the great illustrations and the animals are so cute. The children love these stories. Again if you have any Jan Brett books send them in and we will share with the class and then send them back home. :)

Computer Issues Fixed!
Thank goodness the computer issue is fixed.
Today we had so much fun outside in the snow. Lots of forts are being made and the children are playing nicely together.
We worked on the mitten again today. We nearly have everyone done! So during this activity we did a recall of the order the animals went into the mitten and then we also worked on printing numbers from 1 to 8.
We read a story about snow today. The children really enjoyed learning about snow! Snowflakes are really cool!
We did shared reading again today and learned how to hug words and letters. We also answered some higher order thinking questions. As a class we are working on answering questions that have more than just a yes or no answer.
Thank you to everyone that sent in craft supplies. We are working well on our Christmas crafts. :)We hope that you all enjoy them when they come home(later on for a gift). :)
Drive safe with this weather!

Monday
We had some fun visitors today. Addison's parents came to say hi, and they are both police officers. They promised that they would visit again so that we could try on more gear. Check out twitter for pictures of the quick visit.
In math we are still working on sorting. We sorted dinaosurs and it was amazing to see all the different ways the kinders decided to sort the dinosaurs. We sorted by number of legs, colour, horns, no horns, spikes, no spikes, etc. They really used their imagination.
We also worked on Christmas crafts. Wow we are in the Holiday Spirit here! We sang some holiday songs and the kiddies loved it.
We did some shared reading today and three different groups. Ask your child what they read about today!
Our read aloud today was The Mitten by Jan Brett and for the month of December she will be our author of focus. So if you have any Jan Brett books please feel free to send them in to share with the class. :)
