What we got up to:
We are still working on printing our name, as we would really like to master this for Kindergarten.
We had a lot of free play time, both in the classroom and outside!
We did a little lesson on Plants - Watched a couple videos, colored a picture of a flower, and took our magnifying glasses outside to get a closer look at plants! We learned about the parts of a plant and the 3 main things plants need to grow - Water, Soil and the Sun!
We had fun at the Purple Park with our K/1 friends too!
We are still focusing a little extra on manners, following instructions, social skills and problem solving within our peers. This will also help us come to Kindergarten when we have more friends in our class.
Info:
Please Note: With warmer weather and spending more time outside, please send to school appropriate weather wear. Example: Sun Screen, Sun Hat and Water Bottles! Also having an extra change of clothes might be ideal, in case they get wet or muddy.
Kindergarten Registration is Open at Grand Trunk School. Visit their website for more information and registration.
Upcoming Dates:
