Celebrating St. Patrick's Day

 St. Patrick’s Day Fun 

We had a wonderful time celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in our Kindergarten classroom! This special day honours Saint Patrick, who is remembered for bringing Christianity to Ireland.

We learned that the colour green is important because it represents Ireland, also known as the “Emerald Isle,” and the green shamrock that Saint Patrick used as a symbol.

Students enjoyed fun activities, exploring the colour green, and sharing in the excitement of the day.

GREEK HERITAGE MONTH

 Celebrating Greek Heritage Month

This month we are learning about Greek Heritage Month. Canada is home to many cultures, and we enjoy learning about the traditions that make our community special.

The theme for this year’s Greek Heritage Month is “Celebrating Identities: From Alpha to Omega.” This theme reminds us that every person’s identity and culture are important and should be celebrated.

We discovered that Greece is a beautiful country with a rich history, delicious food, and wonderful traditions. We also learned how to say “hello” in Greek – Yia sas! (Γεια σας).

In our classroom, we talked about how learning about different cultures helps us understand and respect one another. It is exciting to explore the many cultures that make up our school community!

Math - Non-Standard Measurement

Learning About Measurement! 

Our class has been learning about non-standard measurement. This means we measure things using objects instead of rulers. We used different items like cubes and classroom materials to measure objects around our room.

We also learned that measurement has rules. When we measure, we need to:

• Start at the edge of the object

• Place the items in a straight line

• Make sure there are no gaps between the items

The students had so much fun exploring the classroom and discovering how long and tall different things are. We are becoming great little mathematicians and problem-solvers! 

As part of our learning about non-standard measurement, we used snap cubes to measure 

how tall we are.
