The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone!
What a busy week! Here are some highlights:
On Monday the class started printing practice. We are working from Printing Like a Pro and the first letter in this series is the lowercase letter ‘Ll’. We call this group of letters “the downers” as they start at the top and slide down the paper. We also visited the library and signed out books to take home. Please be sure to return these books by Monday each week so that your child can sign out a new one. Later we experimented with making different kids of lines, learned about the life cycle of a flower and planted bulbs outside for spring!
Tuesday was Orange Shirt Day. It was wonderful seeing all the bright signs of support around the school all day. We also worked in our journals, learned about making patterns at the outdoor classroom and spent time in the forest. One highlight of the day was the Luv 2 Groove dance workshop that we participated in. The kids had a blast learning some pretty cool dance moves!
Wednesday we practiced our reading, learned more about math patterns and a fun alphabet game. We also took advantage of the beautiful day and took our lunches outside for a picnic! Later we harvested apples from our garden trees for our Garden Harvest Lunch next week and played in the forest.
On Thursday the class had free choice in the gym, worked on matching lowercase letters to their uppercase partners, went to Whole School Meeting (Rowan and Harvey presented!) and had Music class. Later Mr. B taught the class so that I could be in a meeting.
We started our photo board presentations on Thursday and the kids loved looking at all the pictures and learning about their friends. Next week we look forward to the following presentations:
Monday: Caleb and Chet
Tuesday: Drew and Emma
Wednesday: Galini and Grace
Thursday: Harvey and Jace
Next Thursday is our Fall Garden Harvest Feast! Students are asked to bring a bowl and spoon with their lunch snacks next Thursday because we do not have enough dishes for all of the classes. There will be applesauce, crumble and soup.
Here are some important dates coming up in October:
October 4- Garden Harvest Lunch
October 8- Thanksgiving- schools closed
October 12- School in session
October 23- Photo day
