Here we are on November break already! I am filled with much gratitude toward this lovely school community. Daily these Kindergartners show love and compassion to all around them. We truly enjoy each other's company. Thank you for all you do to grow empathetic, wonderful children! I hope you all have a lovely break together. This book is a nice family read. 🧡
Reminders:
Please continue to support your child's independence with getting dressed in winter gear.
Can you believe today marks the 50th day of Kindergarten! How time flies by!
This week we focused on our monthly theme of gratitude. We read books and shared in thoughtful conversations. We have tied this theme into being kind, with World kindness day approaching on Sunday the 13th and Veteran's day. Students sang our beautiful state song: The Green Mountains at All School Meeting. A song that reminds us to be grateful for the beautiful state of Vermont and our freedom!
We have now completed the alphabet and look forward to mixing up our literacy stations with lots of different activities. We will continue our letter formation practice and introduce sandtrays, and letter magent boards this week.
Show and tell was a hit! Kindergarteners were proud of their treasures and excited to share them and write about them. Their writing showcased great labels this week. Students are working hard to use our word wall and sounding out words as they are writing.
Taking Math outdoors was fun this week. We practiced writing our numbers in the sandbox and had fun using rulers to measure objects that were shorter, longer, and equal to our ruler. We also played several card games where we practiced comparing numbers.
One more week until break. It is going to be great! ❤
Reminders:
Please return snow motion forms.
School break: Nov. 21-25th
Thank you for sending your child prepared for all types of weather!
October was a memorable one with 17 sunny days out of the month. The warmth of the autumn sun and gentle breezes have been incredible! Our class took learning outside a couple of times this week! We began the week acting out Where The Wild Things Are out in the forest. Kindergartners loved gnashing their terrible teeth and rolling their terrible eyes! Later in the week we took Science outside and went on a hike looking for signs that animals live around us. I was so impressed how well everyone was hiking and truly enjoying themselves! You may have heard that we did come upon an old hunting blind not in use and a couple of students found it creepy. I assured them they were safe and we carried on.
We were so very lucky to have Buddy Dubay come on Halloween and sing some of his classic songs! Many students recognized him from preschool and sang loud and proud along with him!
This week we focused on the letters Y, F, K. and the words: and, you were introduced. We have 3 more letters to go and then all letters have been introduced!
In Math, we have been able to do some stations as well. We have been working on number formation, counting to higher numbers and representing objects that we have counted through pictures and numbers.
Reminders:
Please have your child bring in an object for a Show and Tell on Monday.
