Class Party!

Kindergarten has filled up their warm fuzzy jar with 100 warm fuzzies! They have earned these by working as a team to do things like line up on time after recess, use kind words, clean up at clean up time, and walk in the hallways. Please ask your kindergartener what they have done to help their class earn the warm fuzzy party.
We will be celebrating tomorrow afternoon with fruit, popcorn, and a short Curious George TV episode.
The students discussed wearing pajamas but I did not have time to write a note home about that so we will save that fun for next party! Way to go kindergarten!!!

Mat Man, Puppy, and centers !

We've been having lots of fun learning in kindergarten this week. Students have been practicing how to be in math and reading centers and how to switch to new centers. We have started our handwriting curriculum, Handwriting Without Tears. Mat Man is a part of that curriculum. He is a character made of big and little curves, lines, and dots - just like our letter and numbers! We sang songs, read books, and even built mat man together! Mrs.O'Hearn came to visit for her first session of guidance. The kindergarteners met a puppet that she brought named puppy and helped him learn how to do his best listening and learning. Enjoy pictures of our fun below!

Our First Week

What a great first week we had in kindergarten! We spent our time reading and learning about bears, practicing classroom rules and routines, getting lots of smiley points and warm fuzzies (ask you kindergartener about these fun things!), and having a teddy bear picnic day. Enjoy the pictures below highlighting these things and more!
