Kindergarten has continuously focussed on "Kindness" in the classroom this year. With Valentine's Day around the corner, we read many books this week to inspire students think of different ways of being kind. We were inspired to think about kindness and show how we can be kind in our classroom, our school, and our homes when we read Todd Parr's The Kindness Book. We created our own personal heart maps to show how each student can be kind in their own ways. We painted our beautiful heart maps as well using water colors and tempera paint pucks.
Students in the AM group worked with grade 3 students who helped us explore coding and robotics. We learned by using iPads and the robots Dash and Dot. We learned how to make them move, change colors, dance, blink, and make difference sounds. We look forward to exploring it more.
We had math game centers with partners where we played various dice and card games independently and with a partners to continue working on our number sense, subitizing, and problem solving.
We were excited to put out our Valentine's Day bags and hand out valentines day cards to our classmates. This helped us be kinder to each other as we thanked each other for being thoughtful, caring, and KIND.
