Thursday April 13

Today we read, "A Little Spot of Belonging" and talked about what it means to belong. We talked about how it feels when we are included in different groups and how it feels when we are excluded. We talked about ways to make others feel welcome. 

We talked about groups that we belong to. We wrote,  "I belong" in our visual journals and drew all the different community groups that we can belong to, starting with our own family, school and community activities. 

AM Kindergarten went outside and PM Kindergarten had music.

Today was fun snack. If you wish to purchase fun snack you can visit the healthy hunger website. 

PM Kindergarten had a fire drill. We talked about the importance of being safe, silent and serious during our drills. The kindergarten class did a good job of getting out of the school following the 3 S rule. 

We had literacy groups. Each group was working on literacy activities such as letter recognition and sound of both uppercase and lowercase letters ,high frequency words and practicing using those words in sentences and sounding out 3 letter words (focusing on changing the vowel sound and how that can change the word) 


There is NO school tomorrow for Kindergarten. 


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 its 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 11th 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!  *** Thank you to those families who have sent hats in already - much appreciated! ***

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.
