We had an eventful week in Kindergarten!

Every Monday is "Marker Monday" and we begin the day singing songs about the letter of the week. Then we color "My Cc Book" and circle all the Cc's.



We also learned how to buddy read with our "EEKK" partners (elbow to elbow, knee to knee). 



Wednesday was Purple Day and Lucy thrilled all the students with some yummy purple pancakes! 






We have been learning color songs. This week we spelled each song as we sang them! We will do this every Wednesday while we are celebrating colors!





We made patterns with Froot Loops! 



Our Nursery Rhyme of the week was Humpty Dumpty. So today we got to experiment with real eggs. Mrs. Hofstetter stood on the ship on the playground and the students made predictions if they thought and egg that was in a bag of feathers, foam, shredded paper, etc. would crack or stay together. We made predictions in the classroom, then recorded the results. 







 Ask your child if there were more eggs that stayed together or that were broken!


Hutson Copenhaver brought in a delicious C snack this week! Thank you!!

Apple Day! 
Last week we studied Apples. We learned about the parts of an apple, that it takes 6 years to grow an apple tree, that they come in many colors, that there are 7,500 kinds of apples in the world, and much more! On Friday, we had a "Fun Friday", where we mix up the three classes and they travel to each teacher, where they get to engage in an apple activity. On Friday, we made Johnny Appleseed hats, made an "A is for Apple" tear and paste apple, and read about Johnny Appleseed. We also got to eat apple pie, applesause, apple cider, apple juice, apple oatmeal bars, apple slices, apple muffins, and apple butter. Ask your child about their favorite part of apple day! Here's a look at our Apple Day!











Thanks for helping us make apple day a success!! Until next time..

Blue Day!

 Thank you Savannah for bringing in the blue treat!

Today we met our new Reading Buddies in Mrs. McMichael's 4th grade class. Every Wednesday afternoon, we will meet with our 4th grade friends. Today they read to us. Next week we will begin reading to them as well. The children were engrossed in the stories and excited to make friends with older students. Ask your child about it!

















Until next time..
