Over the last few weeks, we have been focusing on picture details and backgrounds. Reading a variety of books, we examined how the details and backgrounds gave us information to help us comprehend the story. After looking at a variety of pictures, students thought about and shared where they thought certain pictures was a good fit on continuum. We discussed what made a good picture and decided details was most important to help tell a story, writing and labeling to help understand the pictures and colours to make it appealing. With a diverse group of Kindergartens, we discussed the importance of growing our writing and drawing to move forth on the continuum. As our Winter concert is upon us, we have been practicing a song and a poem in preparation. Please help your child rehearse for their grand performance! I’ve Got Peace Like a River I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river in my heart. I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river in my heart. I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain in my heart. I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got joy like a fountain in my heart. I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean in my heart. I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean, I’ve got love like an ocean in my heart. I’ve got peace like river, I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got love like an ocean in my heart. I’ve got peace like river, I’ve got joy like a fountain, I’ve got love like an ocean in my heart.
