Pumpkin Day

 

Pumpkin Day was so much fun!

We started out the day by going to check on our pumpkins. They had grown over the weekend and there were enough for all of us to pick one pumpkin! 

We then went inside and did some fun pumpkin day centers. They matched upper and lowercase pumpkin letters, sorted pumpkin sounds, made a name pumpkins on a fence project, and made pumpkin faces with Play-Doh. 

We then had a pumpkin day snack; jack-o-lantern cookies, candy corn, and a juice boxes. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Wehby for sending in all the pumpkin day treats! During this time, we also watched a little video all about pumpkins. Did you know that the more ridges in a pumpkin, the more seeds it has? 

We also decorated our pumpkins with stickers and made a parts of a pumpkin project. 

It was a GREAT day! 

Posters Coming Home

 

In Kindergarten, we work on a lot of posters! These posters take time and we work so hard on them so I feel bad throwing them away. 

Instead, I do a random number generator and whoever's number I land on gets the choice to take the poster home. 

I do not care what you do with it at home, I just feel bad throwing it away! 

October 11-15

 

Our read alouds this week were Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear. We worked on predicting, retelling, and comparing and contrasting. 

Our poem this week was Candy Corn. We made movements to our poem, glued it into our poetry notebook, completed a poetry page, and recorded the poem for seesaw. 

In writing, we are continuing with pattern books. This week, they started writing pattern books on their own. I would help them sound a word out if they needed it, but they are starting the process of being more independent writers. I love when we get to this point because all their books get to be different.

In science, we have been talking about day and night. This week we learned that the north and south pole have day time for half the year and night time for half the year. We are glad we don't live there! 

In guidance, we learned about following directions. We talked about how important staying focused is to following directions. 

In math, they are currently working on Unit 2 Numbers to Ten. In this unit, your child will quickly recognize how many objects are in a collection (up to 5) without counting, compare sets using the words more or less, develop number sense with combinations that make 5, and then 10, count objects and math the quantity to the written numeral, and build with two-dimension shapes. 

Friday was Principal appreciation day and we made a poster for Mrs. Little!
