We all enjoyed our study of the life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly. From their arrival as tiny little Painted Lady Caterpillars through going into J-state and then Chrysalis we were all fascinated. Of course, the highlight was when our beautiful butterflies emerged and we could set them free!
Watch this with your son or daughter and ask them to tell you about what you are observing!
We sponge painted our bags by ourselves and then visited our Big Buddies so we would have a little help as we learned to trace and cut out Valentine hearts! We ❤️ LOVE ❤️ to spend time with our Buddies!
Our Guest Reader today was from the Burnaby Fire Department. It was Deputy Fire Chief Bowcock!! It was so very exciting to learn about life in a fire department as we heard the Deputy Chief’s story and were able to ask him questions about his life in a Firehall. We were all super excited when Deputy Chief Bowcock invited us to visit his team’s firetruck in the parking lot.
Thank you to the Burnaby Fire Department for fulfilling the dreams of our Kindergarten children!
Here is a sneak peak from our dress rehearsal today!! We can’t wait to show you the whole show tomorrow night!!
We rolled out of bed and came to school in our Pajamas on Monday!! So much fun!! It was tempting to take naps all day but, we had so much work to do there was just no time for that. In the afternoon the whole school Dropped Everything and Read (D.E.A.R.). Our class went into our hallway to read books.
On Friday we made our cute Ted the Turkey hats with our Big Buddy class! I hope that your child has sung the Ted the Turkey song to you. The words are at the end of the video if you need them. It is sung to the tune is to ‘I’m a Little Teapot”
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Last week we had our annual Terry Fox Run. We learned about Terry, practiced our running and helped collect money to continue Terry’s Marathon of Hope.
Our run day was stunningly beautiful. The whole school participated in a warm-up and then headed out for our run. Several members of the Burnaby Fire Department joined us to run for Terry.
This week we are starting to learn to read a new word each week – We call it W.O.W.
You can help at home. If you look at the top of this blog page you will see a ‘Word of the Week’ tab that you can click on to go directly to see the words we will be learning each week for the rest of the year. You will also find some fun ways to practice at home!
Thank you for your support!
Here is a super easy way to learn how to tie shoelaces. Watch this video with your child a few times and give it a try!!
If the shoes do not have an extra eyelet to tuck the laces into you can tuck the laces under the tongue of the shoe as well. Once your child has become comfortable with the looping method (in a few weeks or months) you can teach them to hold the loops rather than tucking them.
I was very lucky to have one of my fomer students and her mom to make this video for us!! Thank you M & K!!
