Fire Safety

The kinders enjoyed a visit from the Fire Department yesterday. We gathered together in the Learning Commons and watched a video with Sparky the Dog. The kinders practised Stop, Drop and Roll and how to exit a building safely by keeping low to the ground. We took a closer look at a Fire Fighters uniform and some of the special tools Fire Fighters use. It was a great and informative visit. 🚒

Environmental Print


Environmental Print in the Classroom (http://www.fun-a-day.com's guest post at The Reading Corner) -- A simple, but effective, way to integrate early literacy skills in preschool, kindergarten, or homeschool classrooms:

Dear Parents,




We are working to create a print rich learning

environment! We ask that you please help us by

allowing your child to bring examples of

environmental print to our classroom.

Environmental print consists of labels, signs, and

logos that are easily recognizable. These items can

be found in your home and do not require any

additional cost to you. Examples would include soup

labels, cereal boxes, packaging materials, bags,

cartons, etc. We will use these items to help us

bridge the gap between functional print and our

beginning stages of reading. Please send in

manageable-sized signs and labels that will fit into

your child’s backpack.



Thank you for assisting us with this exciting project!

Measuring

Students has such a great measuring the stuffies they brought into school last month.  Here is a pic of  some of the fun!!


The Solar System

It started with a book…

‘He’s Got The Whole World in His Hands’ by Kadir Nelson.

A book that resembles the song we all know tells the story through the eyes of a child.  Capturing the beautiful wonders that make our Earth so grand.  

One page in particular that shows a beautiful image of the Earth had students wondering....

Before we knew it, the students were fully engaged in questioning, sharing information and researching to learn new information.
