¡Bienvenidos a Kinder!
Welcome to our AM and PM Kindergarten Blog
May has been an VERY busy month! The Kindergarten students were so lucky to get a special visit from a few constables of the Calgary Police Service. Out on the field, they listened to the constables talk about different forms of safety (crossing the street, for example). And the students got to sit on their motorbikes, press all sorts of buttons, and make LOTS of noise! In gym, the Kinders have been enthusiastic in practicing and improving their rope jumping skills - all for Jump Rope for Heart! We have been talking about the benefits of jumping rope (and any form of exercise), and learned all about what it does for our heart and our bodies. Some students learned the beginning skill of jumping rope, and others advanced their skills by learning different tricks. They all celebrated their success and were proud to show off what they learned to their peers! IRIS is the CBE online student learning profiles. The Kindergarteners had their first experience creating their profile with their grade 3 buddy classes. They had to think of 2 goals they wanted to work on moving forward, as well as their favorite part of Kindergarten. Since the beginning of Spring, we have been discussing elements of nature and the changes that we see outside. Earlier this week, we talked about planting, and what plants need in order to survive. The Kindergarteners chose what they wanted to plant, and each got to plant their own vegetable/fruit. The options were carrots, cucumbers, turnips, watermelon, tomatoes and broccoli. We are SO excited to see these grow! In this last month we are focusing on building up their mental math capacity through recognizing and comparing numbers, problem solving, printing numbers, basic addition, as well as explaining their thinking using key Spanish vocabulary.
