Kindergarten News...

We met Mr. B. this week. He has beautiful buttons all over him.

We read some stories about buttons and in Math, we sorted buttons!

There are soooo many "b words"!! We brainstormed 133!!

We learned three color words that begin with

the “b” sound…blue, black, and brown.

We made BIG, BLUE, BLACK, and BROWN BUGS!

We did this with a partner so it took a lot of cooperation!

We read a poem by Shel Silverstein called, “Band-Aids.”

Then we made a book about owies...we called it The Band-aid Book. Each child had to pick a part of the body to illustrate.

Then we put a band-aid on it....not a real one!

Ask your child how we made a band-aid!

Bears, bears, bears!!

We read lots of stories this week with bears as the main character!

There are so many!

Black Bear Cub, The Cranky Bear, My Friend Bear, Bear Feels Scared, Old Bear, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, The Berenstain Bears collection and (of course) Goldilocks and the Three Bears!!

We asked the kindergartners for some advice on what to be for Halloween!

Here are some of their suggestions!

We read books ABOUT books! Haha! For example...there are

books we read for enjoyment, books we read for information, books we read to find phone numbers...etc.. Then we designed a book cover for a book we think we might write someday! :)

Mrs. Flanigan, our tech integrationist, suggested that we

promote keyboard awareness!

So we made each of the kindergartners a (pretend) laptop!

Officer Sahr came and talked about Halloween and Stranger Safety!

FYI...Mrs. V will be out of town this weekend so she won't be home for trick or treat night! She gave handed out her treats to the kindergartners on Thursday!
