PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS, PUMPKINS!!

Yesterday we started our morning with bus ridership.  We learned all of the important rules that keep us safe when we ride the bus.  For some of us, it was our first time on a school bus!  We got to open the emergency exits, including the back door.  Mr. Bob helped us jump out the back!

We also started our pumpkin discovery bins.  Discovery bins are different than centres in that they tend to be more open-ended.

Halloween Songs

We are getting right into the Halloween swing!  Today we learned about a cool song called 'C'est l'halloween' by Matt Maxwell.  I am posting it here so that you and your child can listen to it together at home.




We also acted out the following song in a dark corner of our classroom.  The kids really enjoyed it.

Fall Words

Check out our new vocabulary set.  Fall is so much fun in kindergarten!

Oooooey Gooooey Spiders

We got slimy today in kindergarten!  First, we mixed red and yellow to make orange for what will become an awesome pumpkin craft.

Next we used black paint to create the most adorable hand print spiders. Halloween has definitely arrived in our kindergarten classroom!

Learning our Numbers!

Today we had our last visit with Mme Gaby. We learned more about conducting. Our visit was filled with dancing, laughter and, of course, music. 

With Mme Katie, we used our class parachute to work on number recognition in French.  Could you identify a number (IN FRENCH!) with your eyes closed?  We can!!

Here are some extra pictures from last week.  We work so, so hard!
