Mrs. Blatt

Thank you to all students and families who participated in our guardian/teacher/student conferences. It was wonderful to have conversations with all of you and share your child’s successes and next steps. There is definitely a lot to celebrate!

November was a busy month, filled with fun learning opportunities! We had discussions about “peace,” and we read books and wrote what the word peace means to us. We also made a wreath of poppies that was used during our Remembrance Day assembly. 

In kindergarten, we have continued to introduce letters of the alphabet, focusing on how to identify the letter, print the letter, and identify the sound that it makes. In November, the following letters were introduced: Ff, Ii, Nn, and Oo. We have continued to review letters Aa, Mm, Pp, Ss, Tt.   

In math, students have continued to practice sharing the numbers they can identify and have practiced their number skills through dice games, pairing dominoes, and using building blocks. They also practice counting and matching numbers during their play-based learning.

At the end of November, the students drew their own self-portraits. We talked about our individual features that make us unique and diverse. Their self-representation artwork looks spectacular!

With the holiday season arriving, there will be a lot of exciting activities in our classroom! We have been working extremely hard at preparing our piece for Mulvey’s annual Winter Concert, on Wednesday, December 17^th. There will be two shows and students are invited to attend both (1:30 PM and 6:30 PM). We look forward to sharing our performance with you. Happy holidays!
