How long is your name?

Kindergarten started their day with table time rotations.  The students are able to build a pattern with increasing consistency and independence. It has been fun to watch how the sorting table has explored first with colour sorting and are now moving into more complex sorting rules such as Seth's animal/vehicle sort and Akbar's bear/dinosaur sort.




 
Students continued to explore the concept of length.  Students started by working with white boards and markers to practice printing the numerals from 0 to 10.

Congratulations to today Rockstars Ayan and Boston.  Thank you Boston for doing all of the special helper jobs for PM kindergarten. We look forward to seeing your show-n-tell favourite activity or hobby when you are able to bring it to school.

Ayan shared one of his favourite activities with his classmates, "playing with his stuffed bear".  Ayan answered many questions and shared that his cousin gave him Pooh bear as a present and that he likes to play with it in his room and sleep with him at night.  Thank you Ayan for sharing something special with AM kindergarten.

AM kindergarten had a busy morning with music and phys. ed. Students also worked on printing numbers in a whole group whiteboard / marker guided lesson.  Then students worked on building a name tower to see just how long their name is. 

AM name towers.  Can you find your child's name?  Who has the longest name, who has the shortest name, whose names are the same length.  

 PM Kindergarten have music and physical education on Tuesdays so they enjoyed an outdoor fresh air break instead. After counting the letters in their own name and recording the number in their visual journal, students had an opportunity  to compare the length of their name with a friend. Mrs. Dennis was so impressed with the great math conversations about length.

Caydence "Mine is longer"

Seth "Their names are the same"

Emalyn "Hers is longer by 1 block"

PM kindergarten even had chance for a fun number book which represents numbers from 1-10 in English,  French and Cree (just like Nokom in our story from Orange Shirt Day). Thank you Emily for sharing something special about yourself with your classmates!  Emily stood up and counted from 1-20 in Arabic for her peers!  Wow how special to speak a second language.
