This week in kindergarten

Hello Families! We had a fun and eventful week in our classroom! Here’s a quick recap of what we’ve been up to: Monday: We kicked off the week by learning about the letter M. The children also created their December self-portraits, which turned out beautifully!
Tuesday: We continued exploring the letter M, and the kids got creative drawing pictures of things that start with the letter M. There were lots of monkeys, mountains, and even a few mice! We also learned a new game in gym called fruit salad! It was quite the challenge learning this game but by the end of the week they got it! Wednesday: We wrapped up our Patterns Unit and completed our Pattern Books! The kids learned all about AB, ABB, and ABC patterns—such great progress!
Thursday: We had so much fun doing pattern art and making patterned lights for our classroom. Using paint and their thumbs, the kids created bright and colorful light patterns—so much creativity in one project!
We also had a very special guest join us this week: TwinkleToes, our magical elf! TwinkleToes will be taking shelter in our classroom for a little while, watching over the kids as they learn and play. He has some special elf magic, so the children know not to touch him—his magic will fizzle away if he is touched! We can’t wait to see what other magical surprises TwinkleToes has in store for us.
A big thank you to everyone who came out to our Spirit of Giving event last night! We hope you had a blast exploring the school and participating in all the activities. It was so wonderful to see so many of you there!
Have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to another fun week of learning ahead!

Five senses in kindergarten

This Week in Kindergarten... On Monday, we started the week by introducing our letter of the week—U! We also had a lesson on our five senses, where the kids learned how important they are. We discovered that we use our senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste every day to explore the world around us. In math, we learned a new game called Tug of War, which was a huge hit! The kids had so much fun playing with a partner and are getting really good at recognizing numbers on a die quickly. In gym, we began our gymnastics unit, practicing different balances such as one-point balance, two- and three-point balance, V-sit balance, and bridge balance. We also learned some fun jumps, including pike jumps, star jumps, tuck jumps, and half-turn jumps. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had a guest teacher, and the class practiced writing uppercase and lowercase U. On Thursday, we talked about sharing circles and how important it is to listen to and respect one another. We read the story ...

Valentines week and assembly week!

Hello Families! Last week was such a blast! We had so many fun and meaningful activities that engaged our kinders in learning and creativity. We kicked off Monday with science, exploring the sense of touch. The kinders investigated balloons filled with different objects—some were soft, hard, bumpy, or smooth. They took turns feeling each one and making guesses about what was inside. The excitement was contagious when we finally opened the balloons to reveal their hidden surprises! On Tuesday, we had a heartfelt discussion about love. We read the book Love Is and shared our thoughts on what love means to each of us. The kinders then expressed their ideas through drawings and sentences, showcasing some truly thoughtful and creative responses. It was wonderful to see their different perspectives on love! Wednesday was all about Valentine’s Day fun! We started the day by decorating bags for our valentines, ensuring they were ready to collect sweet notes from their friends. Then, w...

Kindness Week in Kindergarten!

Hello families! This week was filled with exciting learning experiences and hands-on activities! Monday: We kicked off the week by introducing the letter Bb! The kids had fun brainstorming words that start with B, such as banana, balloon, and butterfly. We practiced writing the uppercase and lowercase Bb and played a sorting game to differentiate between words that start with B and words that do not. Tuesday: We continued exploring shapes and went on a classroom scavenger hunt! The kids worked in pairs to find and identify different shapes around the room, such as squares on books, circles on clocks, and triangles in decorations. Afterward, we discussed where we see these shapes in the real world. Wednesday: We had a meaningful discussion about Pink Shirt Day, talking about kindness, respect, and standing up for others. The kids designed their own pink shirts with positive messages and pictures that represent kindness. We also attended a wonderful friendship assembly presente...
