Kindergarten news

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed their time with their families. 
So much has been going on in kindergarten!  We've been really busy!  
For art awareness we learned about George Rouault and created some art of our own in stain glass style!  Thank you parents for coming in to teach them about this artist.

In the afternoon class, Mr. Farr came in to teach the students about fire safety and let the kids try on his fireman gear! They had a ball.
For our science in October we learned about pumpkins and discovered they float. We also tasted the seeds from inside and many were quite surprised they liked them.

This week we are going to read several versions of the gingerbread boy, we are going to compare the stories and the authors.  I have so many different versions of the story it's so much fun to hear them all. 
Next week we will be making gingerbread houses.  I will need 5 volunteers for each class to come in and help us make them.   
Please keep working on sight words at home and continue to read to and with your child.  This week I will assess them on their words and numbers.
