Hello Kindergarten Families!

Hello Families,

It was another busy week in General Studies Kindergarten.  We started the week with the exciting news that Liz had had her baby and immediately started making a baby quilt for her.  Each child drew a square with a picture of a grown up animal and a baby animal. With the winter weather that is predicted for the weekend, I should be able to get it put together!

In Literacy we introduced D and N. Daniella and Dawn didn’t dare eat the doughnuts and Nathaniel and Naomi never need naps! In Reader’s Workshop we looked at the many new words you can make by putting a consonant in front of -at. Each child did some writing about one of the unfair laws that Martin Luther King worked to change.

In math we continued to work with the numbers 13-16. One group had the chance to use 12 sided dice for a Racing Dice game (the other group will have the chance to use them next week).

Lastly, we have started having an activity time a few times a week.  So far activities have included blocks, puppets, water colors, and dramatic play.  Groups have had the opportunity to leave their block building up for one night so that they can continue working on it the next day.

It was great to see many of you this morning at the Tekes.  Wishing you a happy and healthy long weekend.

Dawn and Talia
