Wonderful Wednesday!

This morning/afternoon the students started their day practising printing letter Nn and the sound it makes.


AM Kinders had both gym and music this afternoon.
We explored different ways that we can determine if something is heavy or light ... just looking at it doesn't always work!


Animal Research
In preparation for their animal research project, the PM Kinders reviewed all 5 of the animals that we have studied and then picked their favourite animal.
Next, they drew and labeled everything that they know about the animal - where it lives, what it eats, and what makes it unique.

We are working realllllly hard on our labels! We are using our knowledge and understanding of letters and their sounds to write the beginning, and even the beginning/middle/end sounds that we hear!

Looking for something to work on at home:
- Draw and label their pictures
- Pick random letters of the alphabet and practise their sound
- Practise printing different letters
- Go on a letter hunt throughout the house/when out and about
- Make grocery lists together focusing on writing the beginning sound and/or beginning/middle/ending sounds that they hear

Heavy and Light Home Challenge!
Can you find something at home that is heavy and something that is light? How can you show with your body which one is heavy and which one is light??
Send Mrs Taylor a picture of what you found and we will share with the class!
