February 2nd Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Happy February Everyone!
This month we will have an extra special focus on kindness and leading with love. We have started a kindness challenge and will be celebrating kind deeds.
On Monday we worked on our printing, continued learning basketball skills (bounce passing) and practiced identifying our letter sounds. We also started learning about good nutrition and how eating a balanced diet is important.
Tuesday was a surprise snow day! The kids enjoyed playing outside and making snow forts. Inside, we practiced number recognition through a card game, identified the different body parts of a penguin and went to music class. The forest was very pretty in the snow.
On Wednesday the class worked on journal writing and went to the library. It was sunny, yet cold out in the forest!
Thursday, we worked on writing about penguins, had buddy reading, and free choice in the gym. As always, the class went to music and then we spent the afternoon in the forest. We observed the seasonal changes taking place as we notice flowers shooting up and buds forming on bushes and trees. An early spring perhaps?
With Valentine’s Day coming up, we are planning a little class celebration on Tuesday, February 14th. We will have a card exchange and the kids always love this. It is encouraged that children make a card for everyone in the class. I will send a list of names.
Please remember to sign up for the Student Led Conferences through the link I sent. Students will be dismissed at 12pm and then you can bring them back at the time of your appointment. There will be other families in the room as you work your way through the stations.
Next week is ‘O’ for show and tell.
