Last Week:

We continued to explore patterns using different materials.

"This is cool!  I made an ABC pattern.  See it is blue, purple, red, blue, purple, red."

"This pattern is ABB and this one is AAB.  I can do it both ways 'cuz I'm really good at patterns."

"I made a bunch of AAB patterns!"

"We can make an AB pattern with our bodies! Star, rock, star, rock"

Enjoying the learning commons

Thinking like an artist in Kindergarten


We continue to love creating using our hands.  Did you know that rolling, squishing and shaping play dough is a great fine motor activity?  When you strengthen your hands and fingers through play you are strengthening them for hard work like drawing and writing. This activity also allows us to practice our manners and share.
"Can you please pass the knife so I can cut my play dough?"



This week one our circle of courage sharing was centred around "What is peace?" This was an opportunity for students to represent their understanding by drawing an action that showed peace, and to share their thoughts with fellow classmates.


"Peace is helping my friends." 
"Peace is love."



"Peace is playing."

"Peace is...The wind is blowing in my face."
