Well we have been so busy this month in kindergarten. We have learned so many things about penguins. We made some penguins for our hall and wrote some great facts about them. They will be up in the hallway soon. We finished our unit on snowmen by enjoying snowman soup! It was delicious. We learned about evaporation and what happens to snowmen when they evaporate. In class we have a glass of water that we are watching evaporate, well... we are measuring how much evaporation takes place each day. It's really exciting. We also had art awareness and learned about Norman Rockwell. The students made their very own magazine covers of their favorite places. They look great. On science day we explored measurements, volume and estimated and guessed what weighed more apples, oranges or bananas. Tons of fun. I really appreciate all the parental involvement and participation. Your children love having you in the class.
This week we will be learning about bears. Don't forget to send one in on Wednesday. We will be graphing bears our bears on our large floor mat.We will be sorting and graphing gummy bears on Thursday. It is a delicious activity.
This week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, We will attend Mass on Tuesday. There are many activities planned for the students this week. Please watch the schedule that came home in the Thursday messenger for the daily activities and dress attire.
Thank you everyone who came out in the bad weather to the open house. I hope you had a chance to see the first grade classes.
Also thank you to everyone who donated wipes to our class. We are in great shape now. I will let you know if we need anymore.
Well, I hope that brings everyone up to date on what's been going on.
