Pow Wow

Pow Wow was such a special day for Kindergarten- one they will always remember and cherish!
The class enjoyed dancing and singing to Native American music, playing tribal games, listening to Mrs. KK tell a story in the tepee, creating art with fruits and vegetables, and much more!

Fall Party

We had a great time at our Fall party! We made pumpkins out of toilet paper, decorated cupcakes that look like owls, created faces for our pumpkins, painted fall trees, and sculpted out of pumpkin spice play dough. We also made homemade applesauce! Yummy!

Literary Parade

We had a great time parading around the school in our literary costumes! We loved seeing the BIG kids clap and wave to us!

Field Trip

What a beautiful day to have a field trip! The sun was out, perfect temperature, and not a cloud in the sky. Mrs. Roberts got us lost in the corn maze! Thankfully Mrs.Griffin took charge and got us out. The class loved feeding the cows on the hayride and visiting the animals in the barn. Take a look at our fun day!

Pumpkin Observations!

We started our pumpkin unit this week by using our five senses. The class loved using their sense of sight to observe the pumpkins. After observing the pumpkins we discussed ways to sort the pumpkins: stem and no stem, bumpy and smooth, small and large, and lines and no lines.

Retelling Our Star Books!

One of our students, A, retold the story : Caps For Sale.  One of the pre-reading skills is to be able to listen to a story and retell it by using details and vocabulary.  "A" did a great job sequencing the story, using dialogue and story vocabulary, and read with expression. 

Our Trip To The Garden

We planted corn seeds in the garden. We are looking forward to our weekly visits to watch the corn grow!

Math & Science Fun!

In Science, we have been learning about : What is a scientist?  What tools do they use? and, Who is a scientist? We discussed and drew what is a scientist, explored scientific tools and will begin a new unit on The Five Senses.  Be sure to look at your child's science journal at Open House.
In Math, we are working on calendar skills, number sense, and number recognition.  The class enjoyed sorting buttons into three groups by size, color, and shape.  Students were encouraged to the see which group had the most and least amount. 

Our First Week Of Kindergarten

We had a SUPER first week of Kindergarten!  Our class has 18 girls and 21 boys.  This week, we had our first assembly with "The Bug Chef", a fire drill, flag raising, and art with Mrs. Snead.  We also practiced rituals and routines of the classroom, made a Class Promise, listened to read-alouds, and much much more! Please continue to look for more "sweet" updates.

Push & Pull!!!

Each group had a tray with different objects on it.  They were asked to find the similarities and differences with these objects. 

We sorted our objects into three groups: things that can be pushed, things that can be pulled, and things that can be pushed and pulled.

After discussing our findings, the next day we created a Venn Diagram to sort the objects into: Push and Pull.



Final result!!!
