Wednesday March 22

Today was Writing Wednesday. We wrote about all the things we see. Our sentence was "I see..." Our learners has to draw at least 6 things in their picture and label their drawings with beginning (middle and end ) sounds that they could identify. 

We continued with our exploration of the 5 senses. Today we learned about our sense of smell. We did a smell test and had to figure out what was in the mystery containers. We talked about good and bad smells and drew about them in our visual journals.

AM Kindergarten had music and PM Kindergarten had gym.  In gym, we are working on basketball skills. We are learning to dribble, catch and pass the ball. 

We looked at 3D shapes and focused on describing them. We played mystery item and had to choose a 3D shape and describe it to a partner. They had to try and guess the item we were hiding. 

Lion King Play - as a school we will be presenting the Lion King in May.  Kindergarten will be involved in the show as members of the "Pride Land".  Please watch your email for show dates and ticket information.  As part of the production we are asking that every child bring in a ball cap that fits their child's head well, to use as part of their costume for our Lion King production in May.   Please put your child's name on the inside of the hat.  The hat will not to be returned in it's original condition.  We will be turning the hats into animals, using fabric, felt and foam that is attached with glue guns.  We are also asking if any family has a second ball cap that they could donate, it would be appreciated.  Please send in the ball caps by April 10th so kids can start using it to create their costume for the production.  Please note:  all Kindergarten children will be asked to wear all black clothes (pants and shirt) for the show.  If need be, clothing can be turned inside out so that it is solid black.  Thank you so much for your help!

Today we had writing Wednesday. We read, "Helpers in my Community" and talked about who are the helpers we see in our community. We discussed what we would like to be when we grow up. Our learners drew a picture in their journal and wrote, "I am a ___". Ask your child what they want to be when they grow up. We did a rhyming activity with whiteboards.

Today was a great day at school.  We learned about the letter N. We read " The Nicest Newt" and had to find all the words that began with N. We learned the jolly phonics song for N and practiced the actions for all the letters we have been learning. (S, A, T, I, P, N) We practiced printing the letter N in our printing journals. The AM classes had gym and music.  Please ask your child what they did. PM class went to gym and did stations to practice skills such as catching, throwing, kicking and target practice.  We are very lucky to have some new centers to play with!  Thank you to the casino funds for allowing us to purchase the new toys.  The kinders loved playing the new cooperative game "Hoot Owl Hoot" and playing with the magnatiles.
