Monday, Feb.24


Today we worked on building small worlds. We worked in partners and used loose parts to create a winter habitat for an animal. We talked about what would be important for animals to have in the winter with them, this included things like a shelter, trees, bushes, food and water. Please ask your child what animal they built a habitat for.

We also looked more closely at the rabbit in the AM and the fox in the PM and what features they have that allow them to adapt in the winter. Ask me about what adaptations I know these animals might have.

We had music and gym. In music we continued to practice our songs for the celebration. We even got to practice standing on the risers. In the gym we began exploring racquet skills and also played with the bean bags.

Pink Shirt day in support of anti-bullying is Wednesday!  Please wear your pink shirt to school.

Friday is AM Friday. The AM kids will be hosting our Winter Celebration of Learning. Please join at 11:00am in the hub to share in all our winter learnings! We have been working hard and practicing hard and are very excited to share with you all!

Please practice the "7 Feet of Snow" song with your child. We will be performing this song at our Celebration of Learning. We need a little extra practice with the end of the song as the lyrics are very quick!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Kindergarten was very fun today.  All of our arrival centers were about Halloween. We printed halloween words, played bingo, roll and count game with rings, crafts etc. We loved seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes!  We drew pictures of ourselves in our Halloween costumes in our journals.  Some of us drew pictures of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and trick or treating with our families.  We used Smarties to sort by color and graph the number of Smarties in the box.  Ask your child what color they had most in their box.  After students graphed their Smarties, they got to eat them.  This was the highlight of their day! All students had gym today with Mr. Der . What game did your child play today? Ask them to share. Students came home with overflowing colored folders.  Please empty the folders out and return them on Monday.  Every child has more book circles in their folders.  Thank you for continuing to read with your child and send the circles back.  We are
