KINDERGARTEN UPDATE S u bm i t t e d b y Mr s . S Our class has been busy adjusting and being in class for a full day since the return of school in September. We welcomed Jazmyn, Destiny, Bryan, Colton, Gunner, and Karter to kindergarten this school year as Junior Kindergarten students. Our class has been learning letter names, sounds, printing our names, numbers, sorting and patterning. We have enjoyed learning new songs and poems as well. Each day we incorporate Ojibwe words in our morning calendar and watch Nishinaabe videos to expand our vocabulary. During the fall, we had the pleasure of going to moose camp and we enjoyed all the camp and exploring activities there. We also had a great time during Halloween by exploring pumpkins and celebrating with a party. We participated in swimming and skating in Marathon with Miss Bee during Phys. Ed. In December, we were busy practicing for our Christmas concert and performed at the hall for our families. Our favorite song was “Ring the Bells.”
GRADE 1 & 2 CLASS UPDATE
S u bm i t t e d b y Ms . B e l l
Hello from the Grade 1 and 2 Class!
We have had a very good year so far! We are so happy to be back in the classroom! We have a small group this year with only 7 students, but they are a very close group and very helpful with one another. I think the highlight of our year so far was Moose Camp. The students thoroughly enjoyed learning how to build shelters, fire, cutting up the meat, and using a slingshot. In Math, the class has been really focusing on building their math facts. They have been practicing skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 10’s, 20’s, 25’s, and 50’s. They also all did very well in our Money unit. In Reading, many students moved up in their reading levels. They are enjoying getting to work in small groups again for guided reading. They also really love participating in Daily 5 each day where they get to listen to reading, read to themselves, work on word work, and practice different skills on Essential Skills. They have finished several art pieces using different types of media to create beautiful work. In gym, the class participated in skating and swimming and had a lot of fun with both. During free time, they play so well together using imaginative play and writing letters to one another. The students really enjoyed the Christmas concert, their favourite part was dancing to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
We are happy that winter has arrived, and we are looking forward to all the learning and fun it brings!
- Mrs. S and the JK/SK class
We are looking forward to what the rest of the year has to bring us all and learning together and from one another.
- Ms, Bell, Danielle, and the rest of the gang!
