We learned about initials and what they mean and how to spell our last name! Then, we examined our names, graphed the information and analyzed what we saw! #mathandliteracy#sccdsb#namelove#Allaboutournames
We love our Reading Donuts! They make great First Day photos and an excellent quiet and comfy spot to read! We know what Read to Self Sounds Like, Feels Like and What It Is Not and we just love snuggling up with a good book! #sccdsb#earlyliteracy#donutlove#lifeinkindy1
We are trying to convince Mother Nature that Spring has sprung by beginning our discussion about what happens this season and what our favourite things about Spring are! #sccdsb#springtime#littleminds
Mystery Bag shapes, nets, surprises from the Easter Bunny and 3D raps all led us to learn this much about 3D “fat” shapes! #sccdsb#mathisfun#littleminds
We have been learning about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and why Easter is so special. We made these stained glass crosses to put next to our resurrection garden to remind us of Jesus’ love for us. #sccdsb@StJohnFisherCS#kindergartenlove
Our classroom got broken into last night by a mischievous, little leprechaun named Lucky O’Rainbow! He is encouraging our Year 1s & 2s to practice our Fruit of the Holy Spirit, Generosity, to teach him how to share his gold! #sccdsb#kinderfun#stpatricksday#leprechauntricks
Our friends didn’t seem to mind the break in though, in fact they were BEYOND excited! This led us to inquire about leprechauns, shamrocks, read the story “How to Catch a Leprechaun”, build some leprechaun traps & make 🍀 by painting with marshmallows! #sccdsb#kinderfun
WOW! @StJohnFisherCS Year 1s & 2s have been talking about Generosity and have made great connections! They described what it is, how we can act it out and recognized the main idea in one of our mentor texts this month: “The Giving Tree” #sccdsb#sharingiscaring#generoushearts
We are bringing the Easter spirit to Math! Year 1 and 2s are learning to tally and practicing sorting and counting using strategies! #sccdsb#kinderfun#eastermath
Science + Easter = FUN! Year 1 and 2 Ss @StJohnFisherCS learned about predictions and made their own about our marshmallow bunny experiment! What will happen to our bunnies in ginger ale, vinegar and water? #sccdsb#kinderfun#predictions
Mixed media art in Kindergarten! We used paint for our handprints and markers and crayons for details! We used our names to make new dinosaur species, & wrote about the types of dinosaurs that inspired us by using our read aloud & inquiry facts #sccdsb#dinofun@StJohnFisherCS
One of our writing provocations: what is the same or different between these two dinosaurs? Look at these little writers get to work! Some Ss noticed that the T-Rex stands on two legs instead of 4 & that the Triceratops has flat teeth instead of sharp! #sccdsb@StJohnFisherCS
Digging for dinosaur bones and putting our glow in the dark skeletons back together! Year 1s and 2s are loving our new sensory bin! #sccdsb#dinosaurs#finemotor#discovery
The Jurassic Age is taking over our classroom! The Ss interest in Dinosaurs has led to our next inquiry! Welcome to Dinosaur Land @StJohnFisherCS ! What can I say, being with little minds, brings out my creative side too! #sccdsb#makingpostersonfamilyday#studentledinquiry
We have been classifying and tallying the types of books we have been bringing in to share! Look at how many different kinds we’ve read so far! #sccdsb#lovetoread#earlyliteracy#datamanagement
