Weekly Agenda June 15-19

Hello Kindergarten Families,
Can you believe in 2 weeks kindergartens will be our new grade one students! This has been one bizarre school year, but one things for certain I'll miss the kindergartens very much, especially since we won't have a proper goodbye! :(

Wrapping up the school year has meant the end of our farm inquiry. Below are a few pictures of students' brilliant work comparing animals similarities and differences. 

Students have also been looking briefly at capacity (how much a container can hold). Kindergartens were given the problem where they needed to find a cup that held the most water.  Below is an example of one student work.

Hello Kindergarten Families!

I can't believe its June already! I feel as if it were just yesterday when we were welcoming May!

This past week students have been doing a great job with building a balance scale. I was truly impressed to see the different materials being used by some students! Below are a few pictures of the different balance scales created!

 

Here are a few students journals on animals sounds!

 

 




Next week we will continue to look at farm animals this time describing their unique characteristics and what they give (provide) us! Click on the image below for our learning agenda for next week!

Weekly Agenda May 19-21

Hello Kindergarten Families,

Such gorgeous weather we have been having! I hope it last for the long weekend :)

Homework: for next week can you please help kindergartens find 2 objects that they can bring and share at our google meets (example: pencil, cup, toy car, Lego, block, stuffy, spoon, paper clip, tissue, feather, bead, etc.).  We will be describing these objects based on their length, height and weight.  You can also practice describing object based on your 5-sense: touch, feel, taste, smell and look.

Below are a few students work I would like to highlight:

PLANTS- sequencing and retell

 










Please find the attached student learning agenda below for next week!

I hope you have a wonderful Victoria Day long weekend! See you next week!

Weekly Agenda April 27-May 1

Hello Kindergarten Families,

What a lovely week to celebrate our planet Earth! the sun was shining and the snow is gone! I remember growing up in Edmonton and most evenings in April we would have thunder showers, and the rhyme "April showers brings May flowers" felts so real....now when I say this to my kids I don't think they quite understands rain actually fell in April and not snow... *sigh* somethings I miss!

Before I share our Student Learning Agenda for this week, I would like to highlight some wonderful student work.  They have tried to sound out the words, colored and labelled to show their best work!

Favourite Community Helper Drawing

 

How to love the Earth

EARTH DAY ART!

 

Please find our student learning agenda below.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 

Weekly Agenda for April 20-25

Hello Kindergarten Families!

I'm not sure about you but this last week flew by! Before I knew it, Friday was here (much needed no less :))!  I would like to thank all of you again for your patience as I navigate through the online classroom. This has been a learning curve for me but I am glad to say I am getting the hang of it, as I'm sure some of you are too!

Next week we celebrate Earth Day on April 22.  Its a day to appreciate and understand all that the Earth does for us! Please take some time next week to appreciate the great outdoors and speak with your kindergartens on how we can best preserve our Earth for future generations!

Lastly thank you to all the students who submitted pictures and videos of their work! I really enjoyed taking a look at all your hard work! 💖

Here is a look at next weeks schedule:

Take Care 🤗

Weekly Agenda for April 13-17

Weekly Agenda for April 6-10

Hello Kindergarten families,

Below is a weekly lesson plan for April 6-10.  All activities can be done in any order.  Tasks do not have to be completed at once and can be broken down further.  For example, literacy tasks can be broken down as so- Monday you can focus on reading the story, Tuesday can be retell, Wednesday can be drawing and coloring and Thursday can be labeling and writing the sentence.  Kindergartens have short attention spans and we highly recommend brief instructions, then work on the tasks, followed by a body break.

Also Please take some time to check out our Music and Gym blogs. They are as follows:

Saddle Ridge MUSIC Blog

We understand there are siblings that need to share technology and that activities are flexible based on what fits into the family schedule.

Thank you for your continual support in your child’s learning. I know we will be successful as a team and am excited to get started! J

Note- If you have not already joined our Google classroom PLEASE do so and practice logging on with your child. Links are provided on the right side. Thank you to those families who have joined our classroom!
