Measuring My Stuffy

I can tell you all about how I measured my stuffie. We learned some new math vocabulary. We talked about what it means to measure height (how tall), and width (how wide). We also measured the circumference (around). I learned that we can measure something using objects. I can show you how to measure objects at home using blocks, or spoons etc. We also compared the measurements of our stuffie with each other. I used words such as "shorter than" and "taller than" to describe my measurement.

On Friday January 24 @ 9:30am, Copperfield School will be celebrating Chinese New Years. Kindergarten will be hosting our assembly along with a Martial Arts and Lion Dance Presentation by students from The Calgary Tai Chi & Martial Arts College. Please wear RED for good luck on Friday.

Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...

This week, our new sight words are: who went what but so Our poem is: Our teachers are very proud of us and all the work we have been doing around our reading skills. We have been really good sight word detectives and finding them hidden in other words. Please click on the poem above and ask me to find the sight words this wee: but, so, went. I am also using the strategy Eagle Eye (looking at pictures for clues) to decode words. Ask me to tell you which word says "Christmas Tree, Reindeer, Santa, Candy Cane." We enjoyed some Festive Singing in the gym today and are working on a story map for the story "The Gingerbread Man". Today we learned what the word characters mean.
