March 3rd - 7th

 Last week we read the story, What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobi Yamada. The story talks about how we can take an idea and turn it into reality!  Doesn't matter how big or small, too difficult or challenging, an idea belongs to us and it can take us anywhere!  The students shared their own ideas on a piece of large paper.  It was a special time for each child to create their idea on paper and share with their friends.

                                                

Last week we had a very special Kindergarten guest reader....Emmy!

Emmy has been practicing her reading and wanted to share with her classmates.  Way to go, Emmy!

The students have been working on measurement.  We started off using unifx cubes to measure classroom items, then eventually we were introduced to using a ruler and measuring to the nearest inch.

Last week, some of our friends read the story, The Big Red Hat. This is a story from our reading series.  The story takes place at the beach.  After reading the story, we wrote a sentence about a fun day out with family or friends.  We used our Montessori movable alphabet to write our sentences.

"I went to the park."

"I rode my bike with my friend."

"I went to Disney World."

"I went to the pool."

"I went to the park with my friend."

 Happy 100th Day of School!

This week we celebrated the 100th day of Kindergarten!  Each student brought in 100 of something and shared their creations with their classmates! Each student was given the opportunity to share their project with the class.  I was so impressed with each project and how well each child spoke about the process of creating their 100 day project! Thank you to the parents for helping to make our 100 Day Projects successful!

This week we celebrated Nate's birthday with a fun game called, The Floor Is Lava!

We had a blast playing the game with all our classmates!

Happy Birthday, Nate!

This afternoon, one of my former Kindergarten students, now a Holy Child First Grader, came to read to the Kindergarten class!  Aiden did a wonderful job reading a story to the class.  And we were a terrific audience.  After the story, Aiden took a few minutes to answer some questions the students had about First Grade!  What a special time shared between the current and future HCA First Graders!!
