Welcome to Magical Mondays in Kindergarten!

It has been such a pleasure getting to know your amazing children over the past two weeks!  I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of your child's very special Kindergarten year!

Each Monday we will be exploring early numeracy (aka math) concepts in Kindergarten.  Our math focus for September is sorting and this week we discovered that sorting means grouping things together that have something that is the same.  

We looked at some objects and talked about what we noticed about each object. We noticed that the objects had a colour, a size and a shape.  We learned a big new word....ATTRIBUTE!  

We talked about grouping objects together by their attributes.  We discovered that we could make many different groups from the same objects depending on which attribute we chose.  Next we got to work sorting and working with a partner!

Some of us sorted by the attribute of colour!

   Notice all the unique ways

     we organized our work!

Some of us sorted by the attribute of shape!

  

And some of us sorted by the

attribute of size!

             

We had so much fun sorting!  Maybe try sorting some items at home...blocks, lego, teddy bears, shoes, and even laundry are some fun things to use to practice sorting!

After math we enjoyed a snack and we even went to the big gym for the first time!  Ask your child what it means to 'freeze' and 'melt' in the gym!

Next we had centre time.  Centre time is a favorite part of our day when children may choose what to play with in our classroom!  Have a look at how much fun we had!

  

Painting, drawing, blocks,

play kitchen, sand, puzzles, and

building things are just some of the many things to do and explore in our classroom!

Try asking your child which

is his/her favourite

centre so far in Kindergarten!

Wow...your child's first Monday in Kindergarten was a wonderful one!
