Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

This week in Kindergarten we have been studying about winter in science. We have learned about what clothes you need to wear in winter, fun activities you can do in the winter, and things that animals do in the winter time. During the week we created several exciting winter art projects including pasta snowflakes, winter trees, and snowmen. We also had the opportunity to create snowflakes in our art class with Mr. Logan. Here are some pictures of our exciting creations. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of them!

In math this week, we studied about subtraction. We learned that subtraction means to remove something from a group. We practiced creating our own subtraction problems using the minus and equal signs. You can see how we made subtraction problems by illustrating a friend loosing teeth and how we wrote and illustrated our own subtraction problems about a pet store in the attached pictures.

Finally, in our Language Arts studies this week, we learned about capital letters that are made with sticks. We used craft sticks and practiced making capital letters. Did you know that we can make all of the capital letters using four craft sticks or less? Check out our pictures and then try it for yourself at home this week!

We also talked about adjectives and created bubble maps to describe an animal that we like! Here are some great examples of our work! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Last week our Kindergartners took time to spread love and joy to our school community by creating handmade candy cane huggers and delivering them to our faculty and staff. We told each one of them how much we appreciated them and what they meant to us. Here is a show from our special day of spreading kindness to others. 

This week we have been studying Christmas and creating many different Christmas crafts in celebration of this holiday season. Some of our exciting projects included pinecone Christmas trees, addition Christmas trees, Rudolph made using our feet and hands, a special snack of hot chocolate, and a countdown to Christmas bell.

We also surprised Miss Todd with this movie where we told her what she should ask Santa to bring her for Christmas. This is super cute! I hope you enjoy it!

Finally, we culminated our study of Christmas this week by participating in Gingerbread House Day and by celebrating with a Christmas party!

I hope you all enjoyed our Gingerbread House Day and our Christmas party! Here is a show and some pictures from these events! Special thanks to our room mom for all of the hard work that she put into our party! The kids had a wonderful time! I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in January!

Sharing and Caring Service Project

This holiday season we are talking about how it is important to give back to our community and to show kindness and love to others. In order to show our students how they can help to make a positive difference in our world, we have them be a part of real life experiences through service projects. Our Kindergartners were so excited to participate in our Sharing and Caring service project today! They traveled to Chambrel Senior Living Center in our neighborhood and spread Christmas joy and love through a Christmas musical. They also passed out Christmas cards that they had made and peppermint sticks. The residents really enjoyed their performance and have already invited us to return! We hope you enjoy our show. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
