Happy Thanksgiving!

All year during Kindergarten, we recite and illustrate poems for a "Poetry Book". This collection will come home with students at the end of the year.

Here is the poem we learned today:

The turkey is a funny bird,

his head goes bobble, bobble.

all he says is just one word:

gobble, gobble, gobble!

Learning and Playing Together!

Students have opportunities every day to learn and grow through interacting with peers. Here are some snapshots of hands-on learning during our Kindergarten day. This is a truly a group of eager learners!

Playground Fun!

We go outside 2-3 times per week at the end of our school day. The kids love the fresh air and the chance to run and play. Each time we go out, we work on balance activities and also strengthening upper bodies with the monkey bars. After those required activities, students have free time to interact with friends from our class and often Mrs.Swanson's class too. The mild weather has been perfect for this!

Where Are All of the Turkeys?

Kindergartners have been busy creating disguises for their turkeys.

Here are some of them:

I am not a turkey, I am a vacationer!

I am not a turkey, I am an elf!

I am not a turkey, I am a glitter goblin!

I am not a turkey, I am a skunk!

I am not a turkey, I am a screaming lady!

I am not a turkey, I am a lion!

I am not a turkey, I am Darth Vader!

I am not a turkey, I am a tiger!

I am not a turkey, I am a police officer!

I am not a turkey, I am a sheep!

I am not a turkey, I am a pig!

Pumpkin Math

Pumpkin Math

We had a great day of school today with our Pumpkin Math! We weighed & measured our pumpkins. We scooped and counted seeds. Students designed their Jack-o-lanterns and the dads and grandpas did the carving! Even Mr.Meyer got in on the carving!

Thanks to all our our volunteers and to the students for their awesome behavior! Have a great, festive weekend!

Our Blog

This blog is intended for kindergarten families and friends interested in seeing more of what we are doing in kindergarten. We are learning and growing in many ways every day! This will also give YOU an opportunity to ask your child specific questions and connect about your child's school life. It is intended to trigger memories regarding what we have been learning and doing at school. Feel free to leave comments! It's also easy to right click on photos you like to save for your own collection of memories.
Kindergarten will go by quickly! I am delighted to be a part each child's growth and look forward to a prosperous and productive year of learning together. I hope you enjoy our blog (keep in mind this is my first attempt at blogging!).
