Literacy Workstations

These are some of the literacy workstations that we are working on.

We generally have time to do two stations a day and then the students have some free time to pick any other ones to work on.

The whole class is working with their math bins.

Working with pattern blocks.

Stacking with jumbo dominoes.

Outside Play

 

 

 

 

Outside play is an important part of kindergarten.  To begin the year we are spending time drawing with sidewalk chalk and playing with rocks and dinosaurs.  The children are still learning how to work cooperatively so there is a lot of parallel play.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chalk is a nice medium for drawing and printing as the children tend to draw things very large. 

 

First Day Art

 

The students started the project by colouring on the white paper with crayons.  Then they painted it with watery yellow tempera paint and bingo dabbers.

 

They turned out great and look lovely on the wall.
