The Best Part of Me

Rock Stars of the Day!

Evan shared with us his duck named Duckie that his Dad gave him for his birthday!

Farzana shared her doll named Ana that she loves to play with. She also took so much time to draw a very detailed picture of Ana.

In our kindergarten classes we have been examining what makes us unique individuals. 

Have a conversation with your child about being unique and special. 

What are your physical characteristics that make you a unique individual?  

The Best Part of Me

Students have been spending time over the past few weeks looking at what makes them unique and special. We look at our gifts and talents, our facial features, our family and now we are taking inspiration from the book "The Best Part of Me" by Wendy Ewald. After reading the book, students took some time to decide on their favourite feature and why it is their best part. Students shared with a friend and then shared with the class.

Sharing how different characteristics make us special and unique is an important part of Kindergarten as we begin to see ourselves as not only a unique individual but also part of a community. 

We spent some time learning to draw ourselves using basic shapes. Learning to draw ourselves with all body parts is important in Kindergarten. It is a great idea to start any drawing with shapes. Practicing drawing with shapes and coloring in the lines is helpful to do at home too.
