The Gingerbread Man Is Loose in Our School!

LATE POST FROM BEFORE THE HOLIDAY BREAK!

 Ms. Krastins delivered a mystery envelope to our classroom. Inside was a note from the Gingerbread Man who had escaped from the kitchen and was now loose in our school! Over a span of 2 weeks, this Gingerbread man left us some great read alouds, writing tasks, building activities, and even challenged us to a scavenger hunt to find him throughout the school! We were so close to catching him, but that trickster got away from us again this year! Ask your child to share what they enjoyed best about the Gingerbread Man's visits to our classroom :)

Literacy Learning - Popcorn words!

Working hard to learn our "popcorn" words. Thank you for your at-home support in helping your child learn their letters, sounds, and words. We have noticed an improvement in the reading, writing, and confidence of many of our kinder learners! 

Can your child read the popcorn words in the pictures? What other words do they know? Some words that they may be able to recognize and/or read include: a, and, day, have, I, is, love, me, we, with, you. Please continue to have your child read on a daily basis, and encourage them to write using pictures and words. Inventive spelling is encouraged, and an important stepping stone!

Math Learning - 2D Shapes

Busy learning about and playing with 2D shapes!

Our Shapes poem! Ask you child to recite the shapes poem to you. 

Our kinder learners worked hard to find and cut triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares out of flyers. What a great way to learn about 2D shapes and strengthen our hand muscles!
