This Past Week:
Thank you for making our student conferences a great success. We so enjoyed seeing all of our Kindergarten families and speaking to the great learning and accomplishments of your children!
This week students have explored number concepts through a variety of hands on games. Through game play, students learn to think flexibly about mathematics while also building strong foundational skills. Students will continue to play these games in the next few weeks to improve their number recognition, subitizing (recognizing the dots on a dice at a glance) and counting fluency. Please feel free to practice these games at home!
Students were very excited to learn about our new significant word... SNOW! Learning letters through significant words allows students to see letters in a meaningful context. We are so impressed that after exploring the word Family, our students are able to independently recognize the word and letters within it! Excellent work, Kindergarten students!

As a part of our inquiry about the word SNOW, students engaged in a class read aloud of the story "A Very Special Snowflake" by Don Hoffman. After reading the story, students shared their comprehension and understanding by creating a journal page about their favourite part of the story. Students were asked to orally share their favourite part, and draw a picture to represent their ideas.
Singing continues to be an important part of language development and creative expression in our Kindergarten classes. Students have enjoyed listening to and singing the words in the song, "Snowflake, Snowflake"
