What a week this has been! We hope everyone had a wonderful Family Day on Monday...the calm before the (crazy!) storm.
This was our Spirit Week and on Tuesday we had Jersey Fun. Here's a Sens fan playing one of our math games "domino parking lot" (you add up the number of dots on both sides of the domino and "park" it on the right spot on our number mat).

This week, spies have come out in full force in the Turtles room. Everyone wanted to make a spy kit. They made lists and found/made what should go inside: magnifying glass, night vision goggles, notepad, pen, key...
On Wednesday, we had a cozy day in our pajamas and a fun afternoon playing BINGO. Junior classes came down to help us with the game. What a great activity for number recognition! Congratulations to the BINGO winners!
On Thursday, we were happy to see all of our friends again! It was Dress Like Your Favourite Book Character Day. We had some very creative costumes and lots of fun reading the favourite stories of our friends in both rooms. We had a visit from the junior students in the afternoon - they came into both classes to read with our kinders for Buddy Reading! We had so many compliments about what great reading skills our kinders have. Keep looking for the title and authors name when you read, and use your reading strategies: making connections, making predictions and visualizing as you read the story. SKs, keep an eye out for sight words (you can see the list of sight words we focus on under the 'Resources' tab).
Resting book characters :)
Can you tell which book is our favourite?
Friday was Superhero Day! That morning, we worked very hard to build 90 snowmen with the rest of the primary students. Thanks Mrs. Grant for delivering our 'snowmen accessories' (pompoms, carrots, sticks...so fun)! That afternoon, we were treated to a movie and popcorn. What a great way to end our week!
Here are some more pictures of our learning this week. We love stumbling across evidence of what we've been covering in student's play!
Thanks for a fun spirit week Turtles and Whales!
