January 27th - 31st

This week the Kindergarten students worked on creating winter sentences with the Movable Alphabet. The boys and girls came up with a list of words that have to do with winter. Though we haven't had much in the way of snow, the students came up with some great ideas if we do get a snowstorm!

The PK and Kindergarten students did it again! Another successful collection drive! Our HCA families donated 117 coats! The boys and girls sorted the coats by adult and children sizes. The coats will help those in need this winter. Thank you for donating!

For Community time, the boys and girls participated in a Hispanic Heritage Celebration!

They made maracas, had a Latin dance party and listened to the story of the "Hungry Caterpillar" in Spanish while coloring pictures of items listed with Spanish words! A big thank you to our Diversity Committee for organizing our special day! The students really enjoyed the activities!

A special thank you to Braela's dad for coming in to read to Braela and the class on her birthday! The boys and girls really enjoyed the story and the treat bags!

Happy Birthday, Braela!

January 20th - 24th

Science time is so much fun!

Especially when we get to have science time with our Pre-K friends! Over the last two weeks, we have gotten together with Pre-K for science! We discussed darkness! Even though the lights are off or if it's dark outside, things stay the same. We partnered the students up and one student wore a blindfold while the other student placed a classroom object in their hand. The blindfolded student had to guess what the item was! It was fun giving clues! Next we made a "Cave of Darkness" in the classroom! The boys and girls took turns going into the "cave" and we noticed that even though it was dark, everything remained the same in the room!

COAT DRIVE!

Once again, our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes are organizing a donation drive! This time we are collecting gently used or new coats. We understand the importance of giving to those in need. Over the last few days, the temperature outside has been extremely cold. We talked with our students about the need of wearing winter coats when it's that cold out. Unfortunately, there are families in our area that cannot afford new coats each year and that's why it's so important to give and help those in need. Please consider donating to our coat drive! The coat drive ends, Monday, January 27th!
