Today was a very exciting day for our Kindergarten classroom! We finally received our long awaited dual-touch, interactive SMARTboard! It was installed first thing this morning and by this afternoon we were taking turns and playing a number of math games on it. The children were very excited! We are all looking forward to using our SMARTboard each Kindergarten day for a variety of learning activities.

We also had a shoe-lace tying lesson this afternoon. I have asked the children to practise tying laces at home with their parents. When your child is able to tie laces he/she will receive a special shoe lace tying certificate, his/her name on the shoe lace tying wall, and he/she can choose a prize from our classroom Treasure Box! I encourage you to work with your child at home on this skill. I work on it with them a bit at school, but with so many students, it is difficult to spend a lot of time with each student working on this skill. It is one of those things that takes a lot of practise to get good at! Good luck!

As well, we are working on reciting our birthdate and telephone number. Take time to review these things too. They will be part of your child's Term 2 report card.

Have a good weekend.
