Journals

The students are working very hard at their journal writing.  In our journals we practice inventive spelling (Kindergarten spelling).  We try to hear the sounds at the beginning and end of words.  If we really listen carefully we might even hear some sounds in the middle of a word!

Our fruit and vegetable program

As part of B.C.'s fruit and vegetable program our school gets to try a new fruit or vegetable monthly.  Today we had the opportunity to try some apples - mmm... They were delicious!

Patterns!

We've been learning lots about patterns at school.  We know how to demonstrate our knowledge by using snap cubes, patterns blocks, beads, colour tiles, etc!







The Mitten

We read Jan Brett's story The Mitten.  It's a story about a little boy who loses one of his mittens in the forest and surprisingly some forest animals decide that the mitten might make a good home for them.  The children thought it would be fun to imagine some other animals that might like to live in a mitten.  Especially a really large one!
