We're Going on A Leaf Hunt.......

 Last week in K2 we read We're Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger.


We talked about the story and then we went on our very own leaf hunt! We collected leaves of all different shapes, sizes and colours! The children also wanted to collect sticks of all different lengths... now we know why!
Once we got back to the classroom we sorted the leaves using different attributes. We talked about what we could do with the leaves and the students came up with a great idea! Let's make our own tree! Students used construction paper to cut out the tree trunk and used the sticks they collected to make the tree branches. They placed the leaves around the tree and finished it off with their Fall art work!

Book a Day Program

Dear Parents,

Today your Senior Kindergarten child was sent home with a book bag. We will be sending their book bag home daily so that your child will have the opportunity to practice their reading skills every evening. Please listen to them read, offering guidance and assistance when necessary. Remember to be patient and encouraging.

When your child has finished reading, discuss the story together. This will reinforce what they have read and improve comprehension skills. Date and sign the reading log and make sure your child returns both the book and reading log to school the next day in order to receive a new book.

The more your child reads, the more confident they will become while developing a life-long love of reading.

Thank you for your cooperation in our program.
Ms. Sharman and Ms. Bennett
