November 9th - 13th

 Happy Veterans Day!

Kindergarten students learned about Veterans Day in our Weekly Reader.  It is a day to say thank you to all the brave men and women who have served in the United States military. The students worked together to create "thank you" cards that were sent to Veterans across the country!

Another terrific week of learning sign language in kindergarten!  This week our Neumann University students taught us colors!  Not only did we learn how to sign some colors, but we also learned how to sign the words, "I spy with my little eye something...."  This allowed the students to not only practice colors but have fun playing the I Spy game!

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we have been talking a lot about what we are thankful and grateful for.  The students each created a sentence about someone they are grateful for and drew a picture to go along with their sentence.  Here are a few examples of what we wrote about!

This week during our morning math and reading work times, the students were working on skip counting by 2's using bear counters and working on reading new vocabulary words for the next story from our classroom readers.  

This week we celebrated Wolf's birthday with a fun dance party!  It included having some fun glow sticks and we invited our PK friends to join in the fun! It was a great way to start our day!  Happy Birthday, Wolf!

Nothing like relaxing with a good book and a good friend on a rainy day!

Dressing up in costumes, playing games, and making crafts was a real treat for the kindergarten class. Last week we celebrated our Halloween Mission Party!  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! 

Last week we celebrated Lexie's birthday with a dance party!  It was a double celebration with Halloween and a birthday!  Thank you, Lexie, for the little birthday gift bags and fun dance party!

This week our Neumann University ASL students taught us how to say many family words such as mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, sister, and many more!  The kindergarten students are beginning to sign in complete sentences using the skills our Neumann friends have taught them.  Each week I'm so impressed how much the kindergarten students are learning and retaining!

Miss Mann stopped into kindergarten this week and read the class the story, There Was An Old Who Swallowed A Turkey!  This story was full of rhyming words and silly pictures!  The students enjoyed having Miss Mann as our guest reader!

This week we the Early Childhood division celebrated Grandparent's Day!  The students spent the morning with their grandparents working in the classrooms and enjoying a special snack together! The kindergarten students worked on creating stories together and spent special time doing an art project together in art class!  It was a fun time had by all!
