From Apples to Autumn


I noticed that there will be a drop in temperature again on Tuesday, but I am hoping we will still have a little more fall than we have had so far!

In kindergarten class, we have been finishing up our apple unit and moving on to fall.


Our apple suncatchers look really nice in the windows, especially when it gets later in the morning and the sun shines through the window more.



One of our activities was an apple taste test, in which the kids tasted red and green apples. I told them that if they had ever tried yellow apples, they could say whether they liked them as well.



Then, moving on to fall... we just got our fall trees finished and they look great!



And finally, Tom the Turkey has been set up on our bulletin board across from the classroom. So far a few students have brought in feathers. I can't wait to see Tom when he has all of his feathers!

Science Unit - Week 2

Image
This week we only managed to fit in two science days due to some last-minute rescheduling. The first was Mad Scientist day, of which there unfortunately were no pictures taken due to how much fun we were having! We had a sensory walk station where the kids walked through bins of things from beans to shaving cream. There was a rock station, a magnet station, a measuring station, and a station where budding scientists got to mix various items in test tubes and see what happened. Next day was Detective / Forensic Scientist day. There was a fingerprinting station, a lip print station (many lysol wipes were used in the cleaning of the lipstick tubes :D), and a station where the kinders had to figure out a mystery powder using the senses of sight and touch. fingerprinting station

Remembrance Day and Community Helpers

Hello again from Ms. Law! It is a busy time what with report cards being done, but I wanted to get in a blog post to let you know what we've been doing the past two weeks. Last week was full of activities going up to Remembrance Day. We read the poem "In Flanders Fields" and made poppy art with various painting techniques (paintbrush with watercolours for grass and sky, thicker paint with a milk bottle cap for the poppy flowers, and our thumb for the black poppy middle). We also wrote questions for a soldier, Ms. Law's friend Corporal Sam Donovan. We watched the video the next week, on November 13. (If you would like a copy of the video to see, you can contact me!) And, finally, we practiced for the Remembrance Day liturgy, which we helped lead along with the grade sixes. Thank you so much to anyone who was able to make it! (faces of children who are not to appear on social media are blurred as per our district's privacy rules) This week, we h...

COVID-19 Update

Dear Parents, We still do not yet have much information on how school is going to proceed at this point, but I wanted to update you on what we know so far. As stated in messages from our principal, the district, and the Alberta government, schools are indefinitely closed to students.  We are now progressing towards an alternate form of learning. The kindergarten teachers are preparing materials to go home for when parents are able to come pick up supplies, shoes,  etc. at a later date. I, for one, will have materials for the earlier planned St. Patrick's Day activities (including all the resources for two art activities I already had planned), unfinished work from your kids, and I will also include some materials for future activities so that you will have something to keep the little ones busy for a little until alternative methods are set up. Please do not come to the school yet. You will be contacted as to what date and time you can come in so as to stagger entries in...
