100 Days of Kindergarten!

We celebrated our 100th day of school today! We learned all about the number 100 and how to make it...ten groups of 10, four groups of 25, two groups of 50 and more. We also used our 100th Day homework project to make special 100 hats. All of our hats have 100 things on them. We had a great day!

New Year's Resolutions

Last week, we met with our third grade buddies to make new year's resolutions together. We talked about what a resolution is and reflected on what we wanted to do to make ourselves better. The kids had some great ideas for resolutions!

Brain Breaks

We love Brain Breaks! We frequently use GoNoodle.com to help us sharpen our saws and help our brains and bodies be ready to learn.Make sure to ask your child about "Banana, Banana, Meatballs!"

Winter Party!

We had so much fun at our Winter Party this afternoon! Thank you to all of our parents who were able to help! We made snowmen crafts, snow globes, played gingerbread bingo, and had a hot chocolate bean bag toss!

3rd Grade Buddies

On Wednesday, our buddies in 3rd grade visited our Kindergarten class! We worked together to make cards for a nursing home. We drew pictures, and our buddies helped us write, "Happy Holidays!" and "Happy New Year!" We hope everyone at the nursing home will love our cards!

Writing Celebration

We have finished our Bookmaking writing unit! This week, we celebrated our hard work by publishing our first stories and sharing them with the class. Everyone did such a great job sharing their stories and I can't wait to see our writers grow!

Say Something

This week we started our new Talk unit in reading. Students each have a partner, and while we read a book together, we stop and talk to our partner about what we are noticing, thinking, feeling, and predicting about the story. The other partner then responds if they agree or disagree, and explain why. Even though we just started talking to our partners this week, everyone has been doing a fabulous job sharing their thinking! I can tell we have many great readers in our class!
