Yippee! I'm a little ahead of schedule with this week's newsletter. Well, not really. But, it felt good saying I was ahead for once. Hopefully, I will remember to print it off in the morning and get it into your little cowpoke's binder. Thank you all so much for taking time to visit with me during Parent/Teacher conferences!! I am so proud of your little ones! Also, here are 2 Math Talk pictures for the weekend. I just couldn't choose! Have fun talking math together!

I'm a Little Behind!

Sorry all!  I'm a little behind on our newsletters.  I keep forgetting to post them on here.  So very sorry!!  Here are the last 2 just in case you missed them in the Luau Binder.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Hope you all enjoy your time with your families over break!  I will miss all of the little people, but I know this is a very special time in their lives and it needs to be shared with family.  I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful goodies and presents your children gave me for Christmas!  It was very thoughtful of you!  Also, to all who donated their time or items for a party yesterday a huge thanks!  I think all of the little people had a great time!  Pinning the nose on Rudolph was a fun adventure along with playing Christmas Bingo!  The cookies were delicious and the juice hit the spot!  Thank you! Thank you!

Below you will find our last two newsletters.  I felt a little weird posting one last week after the tragedy in Connecticut. I just want you all to know I love your children and will do my best to always protect them!   

Hope you all enjoyed your very special reindeer!  And, again, Happy Holidays!! 

Latest Newsletter!!

This past week we read several great stories about the first Thanksgiving.  We've also been reading "Junie B., First Grader: Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten (and Other Thankful Stuff)".   It's funny to hear the different things kindergarteners and first graders are thankful for.  Rainbow sprinkles, Nipsy Doodles,  cranberry sauce that slides out in the shape of the can, exploding biscuits and toilet paper were at the top of the list.  Too cute!!

Hope you all have a wonderful "Thanksgiving" holiday! 

We all have so many things to be thankful for!!

I am sorry this post is a little late!  I forgot after our Veterans Day post to upload our newsletter for the week of November 9th.  So, here you go!!

Wow!  What an exciting week this last week was.  We had Halloween, began practicing our Veterans Day song and finished up learning about bats!  Whew!  This week we will be voting for the next President of the United States and learning all about some very special people who have helped to protect our nation and many who continue to do so!  

Thank you to all of the veterans and those in the Armed Forces for your service and dedication to our country! 

Whew!  What an amazing week we had in kindergarten!  We learned so many new facts about spiders.  We learned that the smallest spider is the size as a grain of sand and the largest (the goliath tarantula) is the size of a dinner plate!  

Did you know a jumping spider can jump 20 times it's length.  

If your child could jump that far they'd be able to jump 80 feet.  Wow!!

Hi,

This week we spent time learning all about "fire safety".  We learned a song called "Stop, Drop and Roll"!  On Wednesday we made fire trucks and labeled a firefighter.  Today we did our first "Part to Whole Map".  We are learning so many fascinating things this year.  We also finished our cats that our 3rd grade buddies helped us paint.  I will post pictures soon!  Your children are so creative!!  

Below is our newsletter for this week and also some pictures of our fire trucks. 
Have a great weekend!!

3rd Grade Buddies!!

We had our first visit with our 3rd Grade Buddies from Mr. VanHouten's class this past Friday.  They came in to help us with our first painting project.  It was the first step for our Halloween cat glyph.  Check out our pictures below!

Hi Will and Sydney!!! Thank you Mr. V. and students for being our buddies this year!!

 This past week we spent time learning about Christopher Columbus!  He sailed the ocean blue in 1492.  The boys and girls learned many interesting facts about Columbus.  This week we will be learning all about "Fire Safety".  Please talk to your children about where your meeting place might be if your house should ever catch on fire! 

  

Hello all!  This past week was filled with many exciting adventures with Johnny Appleseed. We worked on our Johnny Appleseed glyphs on Wednesday and they are now all hanging around the room!  They are just too cute!!  Below you will find our newsletter for this past week along with several pictures of us working on our Johnny Appleseed glyphs.  Enjoy!

Ahoy Mateys!!  This past Wednesday was "Talk Like a Pirate Day" and we had so much fun talking like pirates.  Aaargh! Aaargh!  Aaargh!  I am amazed everyday how thoughtful and caring many of the children are.  We read a very special book called "How Full is Your Bucket?" today and they were so cute filling each others buckets with kind deeds.  Below you will find pictures of our craftivity that went along with the book.  They are incredibly adorable!!  See for yourselves! 

Below you will find our second newsletter of the school year!  I will also be adding a black and white copy of the newsletter to your child's "Luau" Binder tomorrow.  It will be located behind the "Luau News".  Have a great weekend!

Thank you to all of the families that were able to come to Open House tonight!  We had a wonderful turnout and I'm hoping my little explanation of our day was helpful.
