What have we been up to?
December 2022
December was filled with so much fun and excitement in Kindergarten! Students engaged in many different fine motor and learning opportunities through play in their Sants's workshop invitations. Excitement and noise filled the hallways when the Kinder's freshly baked gingerbread men escaped from the oven and led us on a chase around the school! Even Constable Herring popped in to help with the search!

In November, students had fun working on listening to many different fairy tales and then retelling them through a puppet show within our Movie Theatre invitation. They became "movie theatre workers" by selling popcorn, candy and drinks, movie tickets and more! We also learned a lot about the difference between a small problem and a big problem and ways we might solve our small problems on our own using Kelso's choice wheel.

October was a fun month in Kindergarten! Routines have been well established and lots of learning is happening! This month students particularly enjoyed the Medical Center invitation. Through play they worked on printing their name to sign into the clinic, counted pills at the pharmacy, used imagination and social skills to look after their patients and much more! Halloween invitations and activities of course were also a hit.

May was an exciting month in Kindergarten! Watching the baby chicks hatch and then taking care of them and watching them grow was so exciting! The end of May also meant garden planting time! We are looking forward to watching our garden vegetables and flowers grow!

This past month the highlight in Kindergarten was learning about the life cycle of a chicken by hatching baby chicks! The kids were involved from the beginning; setting up the incubator, incubating and candling the eggs in order to see the chicks growing inside, to setting up the brooder. We look forward to watching the hatch on May 3rd and May 4th as well as taking care of the baby chicks for a few weeks until they are ready to head to a farm.

Some March highlights in Kindergarten were building lots of different structures from many different materials in our materials and objects unit in Science as well as St. Patrick’s Day of course! That tricky leprechaun kept us all so busy solving investigations to receive clues that day that we forgot to take pictures! In the end, we didn’t end up catching the tricky leprechaun but everyone had a fun day and was happy to receive the treats he left at the end of the day!
