Song of the Week
Kindergarten, Here We Come!
(Sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Kindergarten here we come.
We know we'll have lots of fun!
Lots of things to make and do.
Reading, writing, counting too.
Kindergarten here we come.

We know we'll have lots of fun!

Things We Did
Everybody drew a picture of themselves in our "This is me!" activity, and some of us were able to write our names on our pictures as well!

We practiced signing in to the room, so everybody would know that we're here, and to help us learn how to write our names!

We learned each other's names by playing games with our Feel-Good Freinds (stuffies), who helped show us how to take turns.

We met our gym teacher, Mr. Baker, and our librarian, Mme. Degroot.

We danced to the "Popcorn" song, a fun way to move that allows everybody to be a leader in the dance at different times!

We practiced playing at our different centres, including our drama centre, our blocks centre, and our art centre!  More to come soon!

Our first "Drop Everything And Read" session happened, where we all grabbed a book and a place in the room and read!  Well, we didn't know the words, but we practiced using the books!

Everybody learned about the "Invisible Bucket" that floats above our head.  It fills up when we do nice things for other people, or when other people do nice things for us, and empties when bad things are done.  We then all took a happy thought, put it in our bucket, and got ready to use it next week!
