Happy Halloween! This is a busy week in Kindergarten. In language arts, the colours are orange and black and we are learning to write the letter A and a. We are learning French Halloween vocabulary such as une araignée (a spider), un hibou (an owl) and une citrouille (a pumpkin). In science and art, we are continuing to learn the growth stages of the pumpkin with the help of books and sequencing cards. We will also be carving a real pumpkin as we learn facial expressions and emotions (eg. happy, sad, scared, worried). We will also be talking about Halloween safety. In PE, we have started a fun dance unit. In class we are introducing Brain Gym in our morning routine, a series of fun exercises that help prepare our brains for reading and writing.
Tuesday is library day, Wednesday we are walking to the local seniors home and Thursday is our usual neighborhood walk with Mme Koski and Mme Amber's class. Thursday is also a school-wide orange and black day which means students are encouraged to wear these colours! We ask students not to wear their Halloween costumes to school and save them for after school to avoid loosing or breaking them at school. Remember to eat a healthy diner on Thursday evening, a hearty breakfast on Friday morning and drink lots of water!
Have a fun and safe Halloween, boo!
