The students will also be learning about the Sacred Teaching of Love. We will integrate visual arts to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The students have been just introduced to the new theme “Community Helpers” in our classroom this term.   As the students “travel” through the community, they will take part in a variety of exciting hands-on activities including the following: sorting tools used by community helpers, putting letters for postal delivery in numerical order, ordering shoe size at the shoe store, discussing the mass and capacity of various items at the bulk food store, designing patterned jewelry shop, creating different pizza combinations at the Mulvey Pizza Parlour, creating different sundae combinations at the ice cream shop, using weekly poems to identify community helpers, to read basic sight words, to identify rhyming words, to recognize and discuss the function of question marks and exclamation marks, and to identify descriptive words.  Our centres continue to be filled with hands-on, active learning opportunities.  At the writing centre, students will write about what they want to be when they grow up.  They will create restaurant menus at the arts and crafts centre, which they can use at the dramatic centre restaurant the students have voted for and carefully named our restaurant as Mulvey Pizza Parlour.

I wish to thank all my students and the parents and guardians for your continued support throughout our Kindergarten journey.
