Tuesday February 12th

Hello all!

Today was a very exciting day, as we had Constable Rich visit both AM & PM Kindie to discuss his job and how he helps us and our community. We learned a lot listening to him, ask your student what they remember from his presentation!

Yesterday we started our next Math topic, which is 2D and 3D shapes. We read the book "The Greedy Triangle" and reviewed some of the shape names and how many sides they have. 

After we read the story, students were challenged to draw as many shapes as they could to see how many we already know, or learned from the story. 

  

Practice at Home

We talked about how we can shapes in every day items, like a triangle is half a sandwich or a piece of pie. To remember the different shape names, we will be creating a bulletin board of all the different shapes we know. So, if you have any items at home that are good examples of a shape, please feel free to send one or two in! For example, a yogurt lid for a circle, or a ziploc bag for a rectangle etc. (If possible please send a flat item so that we can easily pin it up!)

Reminders

1.) Tomorrow is "Random Acts of Kindness Day." Please feel free to wear pink/white/red, or shirts with positive messages on them. 

2.) We will be exchanging Valentine's day cards tomorrow if you are interested in participating! Please remember to bring one for each student in the class, and please do not bring any candy or treats. 

3.) There is no school Thursday February 14th, or Friday February 15th (Teachers' Convention) and no school Monday February 18th (Family Day)

Have a great evening!
