PKN Weekly News

Hello PKN

This week in PKN class we are reviewing all the letters we have seen so far. The children are learning to name, say the sound and trace the alphabet letters. I noticed good growth in recognizing and naming the letters. The children also came up different words beginning with letters taught in the classroom. Here are some pictures of our literacy activities:













In math we are learning to count aloud to ten, making sets of ten objects and writing number ten on their white boards. In PKN also we are learning about temperature. The children are distinguishing between hot and cold. We have been talking about hot weather and cold weather, hot water and cold water... What do we need to wear when the weather is hot or cold??.... The kids are enjoying the different activities and here are the photos:





In science we are still working on "How things work" unit. The kids are learning about wheels.  We are trying to answer this question: Why do cars need wheels?? the children are learning that we need wheels for the cars or trucks to move. The kids drew lots of wheels and we put them in our inquiry book. Here are the pictures:







I would like to invite you all to the winter celebration on Friday December 12th from 10.30 to 11.30 in our classroom. The kids will be doing some arts and crafts activities with you. There will be also snacks to share. Try to be there and have fun with your child at the last day before the winter break.

Hello PKN

This week is very short because we have the thanksgiving break. I wish you all a happy thanksgiving. Yesterday the children made turkeys out of construction paper and most of our PKN children said that they are very thankful for their moms, dads and teachers... We are teaching our kids to use polite words such as "thank you", "please" and "sorry! Are you Ok?" PKN children are doing excellent job. Here are some pictures:





In math we are introducing number 10, the kids are counting up to ten, they are making groups of ten objects and they also tried to trace number 10 on their white boards.











That's all for now. I wish you all a restful break.
Just a reminder that tomorrow Wednesday November 26th there will be no lunch at school. Your child will eat lunch at home when we dismiss at 12.30pm.
Thank you so much for your support and help
