Cutting, glueing and pasting! We used these fine more skills to make our name puzzle while strengthening our hands 🧩

Last week Kindergartens played music games that help them learn to move with the beat of the songs as a group or move with the beat freely around the Music Room (good opportunities for the little ones to learn to have "freedom within certain boundaries". #dhscbe

We explored the colour RED in so many ways today. We tasted a red pepper, stamped with red apples and brainstormed a list of things that are red! We even wrote in our journal for the first time! **ORANGE day tomorrow🍊**

So many healthy snacks in Kindergarten on Orange Day! 5 friends brought oranges 🍊 4 friends brought cheese 🧀 3 friends brought carrots 🥕 *Tomorrow is Yellow Day*

Yellow day had us exploring lemons 🍋 Ask your child to share their experience using their 5 senses: How do lemons look? How do lemons feel? What is the smell of a lemon? Do lemons make a sound? How does a lemon taste?

Métis Calgary Family Services Picnic on Thursday! Everyone is welcome!! #dhscbe

🚨 Reminder: Individual picture day tomorrow!! Wear your best smile. 📸The photographer has suggested students not wear green clothing as the photos are taken using a green screen.

Black day was yesterday! White day was today! We made black & white marble art. Did you choose black paper with white paint, or white paper with black paint?

Reminder 🚨 Early dismissal Thursday and no school Friday! Looking forward to meeting with all families at conferences on Thursday from 4-7:30 pm or Friday from 8:00-11:30 am

We were on the lookout for EXIT signs in our school building today. We counted more than 10! Ask your child: What does EXIT mean? Where can you find EXIT signs? Tweet us a picture of the next EXIT sign you see!

Kindergarten friends noticed that their snacks have important information on them! We found the “No Nuts” sign on many of our snacks today. What does this sign mean? Why is this sign important?

Happy first day of Autumn 🍂 We learned a new song to welcome the new season! Have your child teach you “The Leaves are Falling Down”

Today we spent time outside in our ‘Nature Classroom’. We sorted leaves by looking at their colours. 🍂 Some were yellow, some were brown and some were both!

Autumn leaf rubbings created during art today 🍂 Process photos were captured by a Kindergarten Photographer!

Today we ran for Terry Fox !

We visited the Learning Commons for the first time last week. Remember to bring your library book back each week to pick a new one! We will get our new books on Thursday. *Please send books back to school in their green bags 📚

We made applesauce today! We followed a recipe, read the ingredients and followed the directions. Students brought the recipe home so you can try making it with your family! A delicious autumn treat 🍎

Kindergarten friends learned about Still Life Drawing. We use our artist eyes to look closely at the shape, size and colour of the object we are drawing 🍎 After carefully drawing our apples, we used watercolour pencil crayons to add colour.

Tomorrow is both the last day before Fall Break & my last day teaching the amazing Kindergarten friends in Room 2. I will always remember the learning we shared and the memories we made ❤️ Thank you families for all of your kind works and excitement as I start this new chapter!

Reminder not to have water bottles in with library books
