Food Drive and Holiday Heroes!

Each year Aurora Heights shows its kindness through running a Food Drive and Holiday Heroes campaign. If you are able, you can send non-perishable food items, new toys or new clothes to school to help members of our community. 

We have a new sight word - it!

Can you find the word "it" while you are reading at home?

Our letter of the week is Ww.

What can you find around the house that starts with the letter Ww?

We made whales. Can you see the W as the water spout?

Continuing our learning about promises we read the book "A Promise is a Promise."

If promises are broken - we can find ourselves with lots of problems!

 To start our Mindful Monday we did a check-in to see how we are all feeling.

We put the first letter of our name by the face we were feeling closest to.

We are learning about promises this week. We started by reading the book "I Promise."

We also read the story "Alex Shares his Wampum Belt." A wampum belt is a promise.

All week, we will be working on writing out a promise we can keep.

"I promise to keep people safe."

Our letter of the week is Ww. Can you see all of the Ww words in this literacy piece?

Happy Birthday Diana!

In honour of her birthday her family has donated this beautiful book to our library. Thank you so much!

Ms. Stevens last day. 😢

We are happy for her, but sad because we will miss her!!! Congratulations Ms. Stevens! You are an amazing teacher and we wish you all the best in your teaching career! 

We found many sight words in our morning message.

Can you find these words as your read at home?

on, is, we, and, the, said

Our list continues to grow!

We had a special Kindergarten Remembrance Day Assembly.
 

Ms. Stevens read this awesome book - What's My Superpower?

Look at all our superpowers!

 Ms. Stevens started the day reading the absolutely beautiful story "If You Plant a Seed."

" If you plant a seed of selfishness - in very short time - it will grow and grow and grow into a heap of trouble. But if you plant a seed of kindness - in almost no time at all - the fruits of kindness will grow and grow and grow and they are very sweet."

Thankful Thursday

"I am thankful for people sharing."

In preparation for Remembrance Day tomorrow we read The Peace Book.

What does peace look like?

What does peace feel like?

What does peace sound like?

So many bucket filling actions! Will we fill our class bucket?

 In continuing our work on identifying our feelings, we started the day with an emoji check in.

This is how we were feeling this morning.

Our letter of the week is Rr

We played a fun game to practice our Rr words and our sight words.

Is this word an Rr word? Or an other word

We know lots of words!

We continue to be bucket fillers! Some wonderful helping, sharing and caring in our classroom. Can we fill it by Friday?

 We are so glad to be back in the classroom with everyone!

*** Please look for school picture proofs in backpacks***

Ms. Stevens started the day reading How Full is your Bucket?

We thought of ways we can fill each other's bucket.

"We can be kind" 

"We can share"

"We can include others."

We are working on filling this bucket together. A pom pom for each bucket filling action. Can we fill it by Friday? We have a good start!

Ms. Stevens also read When We are Kind.

We are thinking of ways we can be kind.

 

This morning Ms. Stevens read The Colour Monster.

We learned to recognize the feelings we have inside us.

Ms. Stevens read Fiona The Fruit Bat and we had a bat true or false game. 

True or False?

- Bats eat spaghetti.

- Baby bats can't fly.

- Bats can hang upside down for a very long time.
