D is for dog, dad and Dee Dee Deer

We had no problem coming up with words that start with D! Take a look at how many /d/ words there are in this story Bots video alone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7E-tnTiW_Y Did your child tell you that we saw deer behind the school when we returned from the hospital this week? The children are excited to learn words now too - so here is a video that went with the book we read about a d-o-g, dog! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBYuSmqG6fw We also practiced writing the word Dad. We didn't listen to this song about My Dad, but you might enjoy it together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9X6S-PPRso

Remembrance Day

We went to the hospital!

Posted: November 6, 2013

We had a wonderful tour of the hospital today! We got to see the physiotherapy department, the cafeteria, the pediatrics ward, the X-ray department, an ambulance and the emergency room. Ask your child how many bones there are in the human body! They might also remember what part of your leg you...

More, Fewer and the Same Amount

We have been comparing amounts (dogs/balls; jack-o-lanterns/candles...) and using the terms more, fewer and the same amount. Check out this link with your child to have some fun with the terms at home: http://www.ixl.com/math/kindergarten/fewer-and-more-comparing-groups

Lizards like lollipops?

We started Lizzie Lizard's Letter L today! We found some lizard books to read so we can find out what lizards eat. We think they like bugs but we are not sure if they like leaves and lollipops. Be sure to ask your child when they come home from school tomorrow. You may want to watch these videos too. The children love them!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_sjAOnowKM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNFiZXByjpA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gk9_7oYL2Q

Jump for J!

We heard lots of words that started with the /j/ sound! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bGQ-XlLk8M In our class, we had no students with names starting with J! We thought of lots of our friends and family who do have a J though - just like the Sesame Street crew: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKYMpRSvg2Y We practiced making the letter J - both the upper case that stands on the line and the lower case that looks like a fish hook hanging in the water. We used our whiteboards but this child used Lego! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOgQz90UE7s

Nigel Night Owl And the Letter N

Nigel Night Owl introduced us to the Letter N this week. Here is the link to the N Story Bot video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZG0GQTskhE We took a good look at the word "no" this week too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kotLRKkwZh4 We also discussed that owls are nocturnal animals - they hunt at night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7okKyl7C34

Happy Halloween!

Getting Ready For Halloween!

Posted: October 30, 2013

We started the letter J today - what a perfect day to carve our Jack-o-lanterns! Some students found the inside of the pumpkin rather slimy but others loved digging it out! We voted on our faces - check back tomorrow to see which faces won -we are going to light them!
