We have continued building our reading ‘stamina’ over the last few weeks!! We are now up to 7 minutes of sustained, quiet reading! This week, we began the Work Work part of our Daily 5 Literacy sessions.
At one Word Work station Kindergartens practiced matching upper and lower case letters and at another station children practiced writing their classmates names and words from around our classroom. Of course, we also practiced building our reading stamina too!!

Burnaby Now Pumpkin Patch Article
We were so lucky to have a pumpkin patch at our school on Wednesday! The Revitt family who have 3 daughters at our school applied for a grant and true to their family motto of “Go Big or Go Home” the pumpkin patch they created was simply fantastic! The children loved skipping through the pumpkins, munching popcorn, slurping hot chocolate and finally collecting their pumpkin to take home!

On Monday we rolled out of bed and came to school in our Pajamas! We brought along our favourite stuffed animals and had a super comfy day at school! In the afternoon, we joined everyone else in the school and read books in the hallways.

This week we started to introduce our Daily 5 Literacy Activities. The Kindergartens were introduced to “Reading to Self.” We learned what that looks like and what the children and teachers should be doing.
We began to build our reading stamina. So far we are reading for 4 minutes!
