November 10th - 14th

  Using the Montessori movable alphabet, the students were able to work on vocabulary words from our reader.  Saying the words, creating the words with the wooden letters, and then writing the words in our journals allows the students to become more familiar with the vocabulary.

After reading A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting, the students worked on sequencing and retelling the story.  We cut out the animals who were introduced throughout the story and placed them in sequential order to retell the story.  This was also a great activity to work on our cutting skills.  

As we continue to work with the Montessori Bank Game, some students are beginning to add two-digit numbers with a partner.  This activity will eventually become an independent activity.

This week we celebrated birthdays for Aubrie, Kayson and Kaelynn!  We had a fun dance party our pool noodles and a fun time with sand art!

November 3rd - 7th

  Dressing up in costumes, playing games, and making crafts was a real treat for the kindergarten class.  Thank you to the Parents' Association, our Grandparents' committee, and the 7th and 8th grade classes for providing lots of fun at the Halloween Mission Party! We had a great day!

This week during our community time we discussed Corneilia Connelly and how she created the Holy Child Schools.  We discussed how we belong to such a special community.  We are the kindergarten community, the Early Childhood Community, and of course the HCA community!  We read two stories called We're Better Together and All Are Welcome.  Next, we took some time to draw a picture of what we look like.  We added details like, hair color, eye color, and special clothing.  We are going to display the drawings all together with our Early Childhood community!
