Kindergarten news

Well we are 16 days into kindergarten and they have been working so hard.  We have been busy working on our letters, numbers and popcorn words. They are doing such a great job with their writting! I have seen such great improvement already.  We have also been working on our smart-board, their favorite (mine too)!  We work on our letters and poems using the smart board and we also watched the letter factory by Leap Frog!  If your student struggles with identifying letter sounds it is a great DVD for support!  Also abcya.com is an awesome website for reading and math activities.    

This week we were not able to check out books from the LRC because our check out system was down.  The kids went to the computer lab instead! What a great treat!

Next week is our first science day, we will be exploring physical change and chemical reaction!  It's always fun!  I really appreciate the parent volunteers giving of their time to come and help us with our experiments.  

Next week we are going to be learning about Johnny Appleseed, don't forget to send in an apple, we will be graphing them.  It is so much fun! 

In religion we are talking about showing love to others  and the many ways we can show we care! I have asked the children to try to remember to pray daily to God not only to thank him for all the wonderful gifts he gives us daily, but also when they are feeling sad or angry!  God is always there and is always listening . 

Well I will try to update weekly, please check back for updates and eventually pictures. If you do not want your child's picture to appear on our blog please let me know !
