Hello everyone! Happy October! Our apologies for not posting before now. September in Kindergarten is extremely busy and hectic. Then add Covid-19 on top of the usual frenzy and time gets away from us.

We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our new Kindergarten kiddos these past few weeks. We know how important this first year of school is in setting up a good foundation and a positive mindset for the learning years.

As you noticed, home learning packets were sent home. These packets are ONLY to be used in the event schools are closed due to Covid-19. If that happens, we will be posting daily on our individual teacher pages to let you know what items you will need to use.

So far this year, we have learned about bus safety, playground safety, fire safety, and lockdown procedures. We have worked on name recognition and printing, the introduction of the alphabet and colours. In Math, we have introduced sorting, patterns and number sense.

Starting last week, we introduced two letters per week.  Students will be practicing alphabet activities both at home and school. In Math, we began learning about numbers starting with zero.

We hope to update our teacher pages on a weekly basis. Please check our individual teacher pages for pictures of what we have been learning and activities or websites you can check out with your child.

Please feel free to email us with any questions or concerns.

Happy learning!

Hi boys and girls!

I hope you all had a great weekend! It was so beautiful outside and I spent lots of time enjoying the nice weather.  I love checking in and seeing what you all have been up to at home.  I'll be calling again this week.  I can't wait to talk to you!

This week's new sight words are: your, all, away, back.  You can add these to your campfire notebooks and practice them at home.  Don't forget to check out the pictures in the gallery of ways to practice your sight words if you haven't checked them out already. 

Hope you all have a great week!

Ms. Hambrook

Hi everyone!

This week, I am adding list 13 to our sight word practice. You can add these words to your campfire notebooks and practice them using some of the ideas from the sight word choice board that is also posted on my teacher page.

The new words are: day, down, into, looking

I hope you get a chance to practice these new words, along with some of the home learning opprotunities this week. 

Please also remember to check out Raz Kids, where students can listen to and read books aloud. If you have any questions about this, please send me an email. 

Math: This week students are asked to practice naming 2D and 3D shapes. Just a reminder that Kindergarten students do not need to name 3D shapes using proper names.  Instead, they can refer to a cube as a box, a cylinder as a can, and a sphere as a ball. 

Hope you have a great week! Happy Learning!  

Hi everyone!

This is just a reminder that pickup of student's personal items is tomorrow, May 6.  Please refer to the schedule for times. See you tomorrow!

Good morning boys and girls! Today is Wednesday April 22 and it is Earth Day! It is a great day to celebrate the Earth and enjoy all of the things that are part of nature. The trees are starting to grow again after the winter months and I even have some flowers starting to pop up in my yard!  Look around your yard or out your window today and see what things you can find that make our Earth so beautiful.  

Recycling is very important for the Earth. We have blue recycle bins that we can put paper, cardboard, and plastics in to be recycled and used again. Recycling is a great way to help the Earth!

I hope you take some time today to think about our Earth and how important it is for us to take special care of it! Happy Earth Day!

Hi boys and girls!!

I hope you all are doing good and that you had a chance to check out some of the home learning ideas that we posted on the K-2 Teacher Page last week.  We have put together some more great ideas for this week so please check them out too.  If you have any questions, your parents can email me anytime.  

I hope everyone had a great Easter!!  Talk soon! I miss you all so much!

Ms. Hambrook :)
