My K-2 students and I have been busy getting postcards mailed out to our pen pals. We are so excited to be participating in the Kindergarten Pen Pals Exchange Programme this year. This will be a great opportunity for my students to learn about the world they live in and gain more awareness about other cultures and places. The students and I brainstormed what to write to our pen pals, stuck the stamps onto the postcards, and visited the post office in our neighbourhood. We can't wait to receive postcards from our pen pals in:

Our students have been learning about helping our community this week. SBI has collaborated with Home For The Blind With Multiple Disabilities Foundation and our students have donated their secondhand clothes, toys, and books to the less fortunate. We are learning about why it is important to give back to our community.
Our Favourite Book of the Week is Eric Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug. This book is really great for teaching kids about sharing. We discussed alternative ways to handle problems. The K-2 students came up with answers to this question: When things don't go our way, what are some things we can do instead of getting angry or fighting? The responses were great, and the students got really creative. The students made their own ladybugs after our discussion and practiced sharing art materials in the process.
Another activity we've done this week is story sequencing. I laid out picture flashcards from The Very Hungry Caterpillar and had the students take turns to retell the story in their own way to the rest of the class.
