Greetings,

This week kindergartners began a new writing unit.  This is our narrative unit, a chance for students to write true stories.  They will draw and tell what happened first, next, and next in their story. We discussed how we are constantly creating new stories all day long!

We also began a new science unit this week on Force and Motion. Concepts that we will explore are:  I can change the direction or speed of an object (motion) by changing the amount I push or pull (force).  Heavy objects take more force (harder to push/pull).  Friday we took advantage of the snowy afternoon and practiced moving our bodies with some fun games and then practiced pushing and pulling sleds!

Students had discussions around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  They all sang a beautiful song at All School Morning Meeting about him. His important message of equality, acceptance, and the importance of being a peacemaker!  

Enjoy the three-day weekend!

Reminders:  

Please, please, please remember to send warm, outdoor clothing with your child every day! Thank you so much!

I will be placing a book order tomorrow if you need an extra day to do so!
