Academic Update

We have been working very hard in kindergarten. Most of the students are able to say their letter sounds, with the help of  clues from the actions.  The letter "i" sound is the most troublesome so far.  Please have your child demonstrate these sounds when the sound books go home and any unfinished pages in the duotang can be coloured.  If the page has a sticker it is complete.  We have finished our "Exploration Alphabet Book," in which the students had fun with different media for that particular letter.  The books will go home as soon as we can get them put together.  Binding them is an onerous task. In math we have covered all our numbers to ten and many students can print them all and match the corresponding amount, work in this area will continue throughout the year.  This month we are doing a bit of measuring with non standard units as well as a bit of patterning, to go along with our number practice. Keep up the great work kinders!!
