Lost Fall Post

Hello Everyone, it's Mrs. Lowe writing tonight.

I was working on a project on our class iPad when I came across a beautiful fall book that the room 8 students made, when I realized that it had not been published.

This book it just way too cute not to share. We used an app called Haiku Deck to make it.

Enjoy!

We Can See - 2013

Last year my class participated in the "We Can See" project. Along with classrooms and families from all over the world, we shared what we could see from our school yard. It was an awesome experience and my students loved creating their own books to share with the world and getting to see the world through the eyes of other children.

You can view the special blog that was created for this project here.

Today our class decided to create our own "We Can See" book. We walked all around our school yard and talked about all of the things that we might want to share with other students. The students decided what we should take pictures of. Then, once we were inside, the students wrote all of the text to go along with the photos.

We are really proud of how our book turned out.

Happy Halloween!

Today was a very exciting day in Kindergarten. The students were buzzing with excitement from the moment they walked in.

We worked together to create a book to show you. The students helped to spell some of the shorter words and the beginning sounds of longer words. They are getting really good at their letter sounds!

In the afternoon we celebrated with yummy snacks (thanks to all of the parents who sent in treats!), musical chairs and a parade in the gym.

Bathroom Book

There are a lot of things to learn when students start school, and this includes more than just the ABC's and 123's. We learn about how to invite a friend to play, how to share and take turns, and how to solve a conflict. There are also many routines and procedures to get used to.

One procedure that we're working on is using the classroom washroom. It is very important that all students are able to use the bathroom completely independently.  Parents can encourage this at home too.

On Friday, the students and I used our class iPad to create a book that helps to explain each step in "How To Use The Bathroom At School."

Here are the pages of our book:

All of the students in Room 8 will be getting a copy of this book on Monday. Please read it together with your child frequently.

 We hope to write many books together this year. Students take great pride in writing class books and love sharing them with their families.
