Monday Afternoon

 

Monday afternoon the children have library. If your child has not already returned their library book please remember to do so today. When your child returns their library book, they are able to take out another book. Every day 5 is library day for the afternoon children.

The morning children have library on day 10. I always record the day on the Events to Remember section of the blog.

 



Jolly Phonic Sound

 

The sound for this week is the "t" sound. The action for the sound is the children turn their head to the left and then the right saying "t, t, t, t". If your child is an SK stretch out the sounds for some of the following words and see if your child can state the word. For example, ten   t    e    n    and the word is ten. Here are some other words to try:  tag, tan, tall, tap, tell, tent,test, tick, till, tin,top, ton, tug.

 

 

Autumn/Fall

 

 

This week the inquiry for the Kindergarten children will be Autumn/Fall. Some of my "guiding questions" will be:

 

Today is the first full day of Fall, what does that mean?

How do you know it is Fall?

How is Fall different than Summer?

What does the outside world look like in autumn/fall?

Are foods any different in the autumn? How?

What do you like to do in fall?

What are some of your wonderings about fall?

 

I will be recording some of the children's questions and wonderings. As a group we will brainstorm all the places where we can find the answers to my questions and their questions.

 

In the Creation Centre, there will be a large piece of brown paper for the children to create a mural for all the Signs of Autumn! I will ask the children what they want to title of the mural to be and we will vote on the title. If it is nice outside we may go out onto the yard first thing and look around the yard for signs of Autumn.

 

Many of the teacher read alouds this week will be about Autumn.

 

 

 

Discovery Centre

 

This centre has been a fabulous area that has sparked the interests and creative juices of many of the children. In order for their creations to be more meaningful, and celebrated, the children will be encouraged to sketch, draw and write about their creations or discoveries.
