Monday May 4

Storytimes are as follows:

Monday, May 4  10:00am with Mrs. Conley
Tuesday, May 5 2:00pm with Mrs. Watterson
Wednesday, May 6 10:00am with Mrs. Mask
Thursday, May 7 2:00pm with Mrs. Mask

 The Google Meet code to join a storytime with one of the teachers is storytime.

If you plan to attend the storytime Google Meet, we ask that you please turn your microphone OFF as soon as you join the meet. We expect that there will be many Kindergarten friends who want to join and it can become very loud and distracting with so many friends all in the same Meet. Teachers will open the Google Meet 5 minutes prior to the story starting.

This week in Google Meet we would like your child to bring 5 examples​ of Environmental Print.  Environmental print is the text that surrounds you child, that he/she sees regularly. Signs and logos on stores, bags, buildings, and product packaging become the text that children see daily and can begin to “read.”  Please help your child to bring 5 items to the Google Meet.  We will share these items and play a game with them.

Today was an outstanding day in Kindergarten.  We talked about what makes up a community and the interesting places we can find right in our own community of Tuscany.  We continued to explore community helpers and the jobs they do in our community.  We completed a journal response where we drew a picture of what we want to be when we grow up. Our arrival centers included a chance to explore shapes.  We built buildings with shapes, used plasticine & toothpicks to make 3-D shapes, used geo-boards & elastics to make shapes and played shape roll & write.  Please ask your child what shape center they explored today.
