**Friendly Reminder, Valentine’s Day is next Tuesday. If your child would like to bring cards to pass out to their friends, please just have who they are from rather than addressing them to specific children. It is easier to pass them out this way. We have 17 children and 4 teachers. Thank you.

This morning at the table we had an activity as an extension from yesterday. We learned the word categorize, so we had a variety of manipulatives to sort into the correct category.

Since Valentines day is less than a week away, we were busy decorating our bags for the cards from our friends. Ink and heart stamps and valentine’s stickers were available for us to use.

Puzzles have been a popular activity this week. Children have been busy working on their physical, and cognitive skills as they work towards the end goal of completing the puzzle.

In Kindergarten, the FABS for this week are:

K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative texts genres (eg. fiction, non-fiction, fairytales, poems.

K.NS.9: Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than and less than.

K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.

After reading the story we discussed the definitions of fiction and non fiction books. We learned that fiction books are stories that describe imaginary events and people. Non- fiction books are books that are based on facts, real events and real people. We concluded that the book we read today was a fiction story.

Breakfast: Malt-o-meal hot cereal and oranges.

Lunch: Scrambled eggs with cheese, whole wheat bread/tortilla, bananas and broccoli.

Afternoon snack: Homemade popcorn with butter and blueberries.

Wee Sprouts: Snap peas.

Have a great evening!
