3D solids and ramps

We used ramps to discovery which 3D solids will roll or slide and the students extended this investigation during choice time!

March Newsletter

What’s happening in Kindergarten…

In math, we will continue to work on 2D shapes and 3D solids.  The students enjoyed experimenting with 3D solids and creating shadows on the overhead projector. 

After the break, we will begin our unit studying Canadian money.  We explore the name and value of various coins.

In language, we will continue to encourage the children to retell and relate events in sequence or the fact they have learned.  We will introduce puppets and props to retell familiar stories read aloud by the teaching team. 

Teacher Candidates

Both Kindergarten classes will be welcoming a Teacher Candidate from the Lakehead University teacher’s college at the end of the month.  The student teachers will be working with our students through the end of April.

Save the Date!

The Kindergarten classes will be performing at the school-wide Spring Concert in the afternoon on Friday, April 11^th.  Newsletters will be sent home with the exact time closer to the date.

Scientists in Schools

We will enjoy our second Scientists in Schools presentation on April 8^th.  This session’s topic will be water!  Parent volunteers are necessary to make this day a success!  Please let your classroom teacher know if you are available for the AM session (Room 104) or PM session (Room129). 

Science Event during March Break

Scientists in School will bring hands-on science to the Malvern Town Centre in Scarborough during National Engineering Month on Saturday, March 15.  They will have engineering activities to challenge kids and parents alike.  10:00am - 4:00pm.

Putting on a show!

The Kindergarten students have been very interested in singing, preforming, wearing costumes and building stages.  Our drama centres have become the hub for major fashion and musical productions!

Writing in Kindergarten

Here are some recent examples of our Kindergarten students engaged in various writing activities.  Writing in Kindergarten involves experimenting with a variety of tools and making notes, lists, cards and recording stories for a variety of purposes.

Creating with 2D shapes & 3D solids

During our study of 2D shapes and 3D solids the students have engaged in many different building and design activities.  We have learned about different characteristics of 3D solids (such as stack, slide and roll) and real world application for these characteristics.

Our ROM visit

Our ROM visit was a big success!  Many thanks to the parent volunteers who made this trip possible (and a big thank you to everyone who volunteered, even if you weren't able to join us).
