Today was a full day for both the Kindergarten groups. We spent time introducing ourselves and getting used to all the routines together. We also learnt the following song.


                             The More We Get Together
                        The more we get together
                                Together, Together
                                The more we get together
                                The happier we'll be
                                Your friends are my friends
                                And my friends are your friends are your friends
                                The more we get together 
                                The happier we'll be                                                 
                                  

 We have been exploring the plants and other centres in our room, building expectations of being kind, helpful, respectful, sharing and learning to look after our Kindergarten community together! Our Kindergarten phrase that we have been using during the day  

                                                                                    

 Ask me the math name for a diamond

                                

 We reviewed the shape together...  working together on our learning task!

            

                                    

While we were learning about shapes and making patterns, a student said,

 
"The shapes are glass." " I can see through."

Our conversation from math changed over to using a scientific word for it.
          My Kindergarten scientists learnt the word, "transparent"

  

                                        The fish bowl is trans.....t

Ask me to sing how I greeted my friends from the other group!

                           Hello Friends!

                           How are You?

                   I'm very happy to see you

                       Greet your neighbour

                   Boogy on down/shake your hand

      Give a bump and turn around (to your other friend)

We read the book,
                               

Ask me about this book. ........    We told David to 

               STOP THINK AND MAKE A GOOD CHOICE










                            Is David making a good choice?



  We got a book from the library today yeah!! Please read the book with me ask me to do a picture walk and ask me some questions. A few suggestions while you are reading with your child...

-Enjoy reading with your child. 
-Where is the title of the book
-Who is an author
-What do you think this book is about
-What will happen next, before you turn the page. Use words like- Can you 
  predict what is going to happen
-Ask about the sequence of the story
-Ask about feelings...
-Did you like the story and why

If you finish reading, you can bring it back and exchange it for a new one. Kindergarten is lucky!!! We can exchange a book everyday.
