Centres
Language
We started working on the letter "T" this week and introduced the sight words "is" and "the" to our sight word magnet board.

Math

We added numbers 5 through 10 on our number lines and added dots that match the number.

Drama

We learned how to properly use puppets and put on simple, improvised "plays" in our drama centre.

Art

Using egg cartons, scrap paper cuttings, markers and pipe cleaner, we made hanging ghosts, which are now hanging above the kindergarten entrance.

Blocks

Our block centre was our free centre this week, where students got to design whatever structure they like.

Other Things

We got into our colour groups for the rest of the term and learned how to use our names, the colour of the sign and our friends to find out where our work centre is.

We talked about what a clue is and how we can use it to find all sorts of information.

We started in on Jolly Phonics, using the "E" song to learn the short "e" song.

After looking through the story "Chalk", a story without words, we "told" the story the next day using only the pictures as clues.

Using "and" and "is" on a small chalkboard, we helped finish Mr. McCullough's sentences while learning our sight words.
