Valentine's Day

Thank you all for the wonderful treats and cards! We celebrated our friendship with an afternoon party!

100 Days of Kindergarten

What a fun day!!! We participated in a variety of 100 day activities, we: counted our collections, took a "museum walk" to see other kindergarten collections, made 100 bead necklaces, did 100 exercises, made 100 dot pictures, and counted 100 words in a 100 word poem! 

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the...

We love Mo Willems books! Throughout the school year, they have been our favorite read alouds...Mo Willems is also a great teacher of Author's Craft, and we get many ideas for own writing during Writers Workshop. 

The Arctic

We have been learning about the Arctic along with Mr. E's class. We were very impressed with the size of a polar bears paw, its height and weight. Ask your child to name some animals that live in the Arctic!

Math Games

The children love playing math games and love to lead them as well. Here, we are becoming fluent with 5 partners and 10 partners. A fun card game you can play at home... your child can teach you how to play!

Magnify Monday!

Our "Read to Self" time on Monday's is all about finding "snap" words...words that we can just look at and read in a snap! Words such as I, the, is, it have, of, and... We also have "Read to Someone" on Wednesday and "Flashlight Friday". A fun week of reading in kindergarten!

Can You Catch A Bubble Without Popping It?

YES! With a mitten or glove! We grew curious after Elliana shared her science book! We bundled up and went outside when it was super cold to see what happens to bubbles in the winter AND if we can actually catch them. We learned that it is the oils on our hands that cause the bubbles to pop...our soft mitts allowed us to catch bubbles- we also caught bubbles on our jackets, in our hair, and on our hats!
