March 2010
Greetings from Christ Church Junior Kindergarten!
March already, where did February go? This month just flew by!
This month has been so busy here at the JK with Groundhog Day,
Valentine's Day, Chinese New Years and The Olympics. It has been
nonstop! We started off the month with learning about Groundhog
Day and we were very excited to hear that spring is coming soon
to the island. We made groundhog hats and learned all about
groundhogs. Valentine's Day included our pizza lunch equipped
with heart crust and lip shaped pepperoni. We also made many
different crafts for Valentine's Day including cards for our
friends and mailbox bags for all our Valentine cards. For
Chinese New Year we learned about the Chinese calendar through a
wonderful felt story and learned that this is the year of the
Tiger. We also made a huge dragon out of cardboard, paint,
streamers and glitter. We recreated a dragon dance outside with
the dragon and our dragon masks.
Our Olympic celebration started with us going to the main campus
for the Opening Ceremonies and representing the best country of
all - Canada! We all dressed in red and white with flags in hand
to represent our country. Over the past couple weeks we have
been watching some of the Olympic highlights, learning about the
Olympic Rings, keeping count of the numerous medals Canadians
have won, talking about the different sports of the Olympics and
of course learning about those furry mascots of the Olympic
Games. For some art projects we have created our own medals out
of clay, recreated the Olympic Rings with pastels, made our own
torches to carry in a parade and have recreated some of the
sports in our play.
