Mrs. Whitworth - Kindergarten

A WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!

We had Opening Exercises in the classroom today, followed by calendar and the colour song (for Casual Day!)

We did Sound Pail for the sound of "er/ir/ur" and the children had gym with Ms. Cranfield.

This afternoon I read the first book in the series of Scaredy Squirrel books. The children loved it but also understand that it doesn't make sense to be afraid of EVERYTHING!

This is my favourite part of teaching Kindergarten! Listening to my students read independently is so exciting and very rewarding! Thanks for all of your help at home!

Two little artists at free choice time!

Our day's leader is doing calendar with Mme V. during French class!

I hope you have a lovely evening!

CURRENT UNIT OF INQUIRY: More Than A Feeling!

Central Idea: We can express our feelings/emotions in many different ways.

Today the children were introduced to a program called Kelso's Choices. It is an excellent program about dealing with big and small problems. There is lots of info on the internet and I wish I had learned about it years ago! We watched some scenarios on the web and how Kelso helped the children solve their small problems.
