Good News

The students have all been doing a great job with their Good News tickets. Thank you so much for all of your support at home with this project. We have been reading from the Children's Bible every afternoon since we started our Good News tickets, discussing all of the different ways that we can 'Shine for Jesus'. Today I read the story Yellow Bear goes to Catholic School and we discussed ways that we can 'Shine for Jesus' with our friends at school. The children did beautiful pictures for me showing how they 'Shine for Jesus'...

 

Round like a pancake...

After eating our pancake treat we discussed things that are round like a pancake. The children then completed a journal, copying the sentence '_______ is round like a pancake' into their journal and then drawing a picture. Great work today!

 

Pancake Day

Today the children all really seemed to enjoy eating their pancake treat from our Parent Council. Most of the children finished both pancakes, some with syrup and some without. Great manners used today by all of our friends. Way to go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bibi and the Bull

Today we finished reading our book Bibi and the Bull. The students really enjoyed making the bull sounds and the brave little girl sounds, from when the bull tried to scare the girl but the girl ended up scaring the bull right back. The students did a great job visualizing what they would do if they were confronted by a bull in the yard while playing, just how Bibi was confronted. Great work discussing the difference between non-fiction and fiction, as this was a non-fiction story based on actual events. Keep it up! 

Here is the chart that we created from our book discussion after we finished the story. Great work!

 

Outdoor Play

Today, with the beautiful weather, the students really seemed to enjoy some outdoor gym time. They were all very excited playing with the tricycles, chalk, balls, equipment and even their friends from the other Kindergarten classes. Great work today! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bibi and the Bull

Today I introduced the story Bibi and the Bull to the class. We looked at the front and back covers and discussed various text features like, author, illustrator, non-fiction, etc... I also asked the students to look at the picture of the bull and describe what they saw, as well as what problem they thought was in the story. For homework tonight I asked the students to think about what may happen to Bibi and the Bull in the story, as we are going to read it tomorrow and I'd like to hear more of their predictions first. Great work today! 

 

Loonie License Day

Thank you to all for donating to our Loonie License Day! The money raised by the whole school will be going towards the purchase of new technology for our school robotic programs. The children were all very excited this morning to talk about what they brought in and share their stories about each item. Here are a few cute pictures of my very excited friends...

 

Here they are sharing with partners...
