February 9th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Greetings Everyone.
February is turning into a very busy month!
We continue our focus on kindness and our kindness tree is filling up fast.
Monday, we practiced printing the letter ‘h’. We also continued learning basketball skills in the gym. Many of the children finished our nutrition project and this week the focus was on whole grains (carbs) and proteins. The kids have enjoyed learning how eating the rainbow helps your body. On that note, please try to keep candy or other “treats” for enjoying at home.
Tuesday, we had another session of our Oral Language Groups and we started learning how to break sentences into words. The kids rocked this! We also worked on math and went to music.
On Wednesday we practiced some of the literacy activities the children will show you at the Student Led conferences. At Whole School Meeting, Kaizen, Reilynn and Celeste told the school about our kindness challenge and how we are “growing kindness” in our class. Please remember to send library books back every Wednesday or write me a note about books you want to keep for a little longer so the librarian can keep track.
Thursday we wrote about how we are kind to others in journals and made heart art. After music class, we were surprised by an unplanned fire drill (what happens when the alarm is pulled…) and had to wait outside for the fire department to give us the all clear. Everyone was very patient, and we were lucky it was a clear day.
