This Past Week:
This week students continued to develop their understanding of number by engaging in a series of games and hands-on activities where they were challenged to represent numbers using manipulatives, to write numbers symbolically and to express numbers through pictures or images.
We continued to represent numbers in a variety of way on the number line, checking our work carefully for accuracy.
Students were also invited this week to help envision and design a new classroom centre that enabled them to practice reading, representing and interpreting numbers. Students envisioned how the classroom kitchen could be changed into a bakery and had fun playing with numbers as they placed and filled detailed cookie orders with their peers.
Students also continued to develop their understanding of reading and representing numbers by engaging in a variety of math games. One of the new games introduced this week invited students to "roll a snowman".
This week we also continued to practice reading and writing our significant word; SNOW. Students have been learning the letter sound associated with "s" "n' "o" and "w" and have also been practicing printing the upper and lowercase letters. In their Visual Journals this week, students created a SNOW page showcasing their letter work.
. 
We have been working on setting and monitoring learning goals in Kindergarten. Over the last couple of weeks, students have been challenged to create a "play plan" prior to classroom centre time. Students are asked to select a centre that they would like to try that day, share their plan with a classmate before centres and then reflect their progress toward the goal afterward. Play plans are an opportunity for us to be intentional about certain goals we would like to reach or be mindful of in our learning.

This Past Week:
We were thrilled to attend ATP's production of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" as our first Kindergarten field trip. Students enjoyed the exciting action, costumes and amazing set of the play. As part of our literacy work, students made predictions and then reflected on their favourite parts after the play. It is clear from their detailed drawings and thoughtful reflections that students were inspired by the experience!
In math, students have been exploring how to represent numerals in various ways. Writing, drawing and using manipulatives are all different ways to show numbers. Using a number line, students represented quantities up to ten and practiced saying the sequence from 0 to 10 and 10 to 0.
As part of our literacy letter learning around our significant word SNOW, students have explored creating snowflakes using different mediums.
