Fall in full swing!

                         🍂 Busy Days and Big Learning in Kindergarten! 🚒                              The past couple of weeks have been busy in our kindergarten classroom, and we have been making so many wonderful memories along the way! We enjoyed a special visit from our local fire station, giving us the opportunity to learn more about firefighters and the important work they do in our community. We also attended another school assembly and continued practicing how to participate and be part of our school community. During testing week, we got to do a couple fun activities with our 4th grade buddies! They loved meeting and getting to know their 4th grade buddies (this is who they will sit by at church on mass days).                                     ...

Fall week!

  🍂 What a wonderful week in kindergarten! 🍂 This week, we focused on the letter S and continued building our sight word knowledge. These kiddos have been such hard workers, and I am so proud of the effort they are putting into their learning! ⭐️ We also had our very first Praise Assembly, and they were absolute rock stars! 🌟 The environment was loud, busy, and a little overwhelming at times, but they did such an amazing job using their skills, staying with the group, and participating. I couldn’t have been more proud of them! 🍁 We also welcomed fall into our classroom! We read Leaf Man and then created our own Leaf Man masterpieces. I absolutely loved watching their creativity shine as each student came up with their own unique version. 🍂❤️ It was a busy week full of learning, growing, creativity, and lots of proud teacher moments. I hope everyone has a restful and relaxing weekend! We’ll be back at it next week! 🍎📚✨

Rainbow Toast Week!!

🌈 What a colorful week in Kindergarten! 🌈 We wrapped up Color Week with one of our favorite days—Rainbow Toast Day! 🌈🍞 The kids absolutely loved creating and enjoying their colorful toast! We also finished our UFLI Getting Ready lessons in Language Arts! Next, we’ll begin really focusing on targeted letter sounds and building those early phonics skills. 🔤 In math, we continued working on writing numbers 1–9, patterns, and story problems, giving our students lots of opportunities to practice through fun and hands-on activities. ✏️🔢 It was a busy and productive week, and we are so proud of all that our little learners accomplished! ❤️ 📚 A reminder for next week: Tuesday is an Early Out Day! Kindergarten students will leave through the After School Care door at 1:15 and go to the big lot. On Early Out Days, students may wear dress-down apparel, including shorts, pants, or jeans paired with an everyday T-shirt. 👕👖 We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 🌈❤️

What a Wonderful First Full Week of Kindergarten!

We had such a wonderful first full week of school! Our kindergarten friends have been working hard, learning new routines, and showing us just how much they are capable of. During center time, we focused on letter sounds and letter formation. We also began our full week of Language Arts using the UFLI program. One of our favorite activities was building our very own sound wall and filling it with the sounds we are learning! We also made learning hands-on by practicing horizontal and vertical lines and building roads for our cars to drive on. Another favorite was our letter parking garage, where students matched letters and drove them to their matching parking spots. 🚗🅿️ In Religion, we talked about how God is love and explored all the different ways we can show love and kindness to others. During Journal Time, we focused on our color themes for the week. Our kindergarten friends created a color book for each theme while practicing color words and tracing those words. 🌈 We are al...

Great start to the week!

  Today was another wonderful day in kindergarten! We officially started our language arts program and learned all about the different ways our mouths move to make sounds. We practiced how our mouths, lips, and tongues work and explored different letter sounds. It was so much fun watching the kids learn and practice these new skills! In math, we worked on the number 4—counting, identifying, and practicing how to write it. We also had our first religion lesson, where we talked about how much God loves each of us. ❤️ For Color Week, today was all about RED! ❤️ We made our very first color book and had fun learning and finding things that are red. Tomorrow, we’ll be learning all about YELLOW! 💛 Students may wear a yellow shirt with uniform bottoms. It was a great day filled with learning, practicing, and lots of growing! I’m so proud of our little learners! 🌟
