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 also becoming much more familiar with our school rules and routines, and our friends have been working hard to earn their stars each day toward a trip to the treasure box! ⭐️🎁 It has been so exciting to see their growing focus and participation during lesson time.



It truly has been a wonderful first full week, and I am so proud of all the growth I have already seen in our kindergarten friends. I hope everyone has a relaxing and well-deserved weekend!

💜 On Monday, we will be focusing on the color PURPLE! 💜

  Hello everyone, and welcome to my math class! I am Mrs. Brown and I will be teaching math in the Vogelweid Learning Center this year! I am so excited to begin this journey with each of you. Math is more than just numbers--its about problem-solving, thinking in new ways, and building confidence step by step. In my class, we will celebrate progress, support each other and discover how math connects in a functional way to everyday life. We will work together, try our best, and encourage each other, because learning is about growing--not perfection. Mistakes are not something to fear here--they are stepping stones to success. What to expect: Hands-on activities that make math interactive Practice with real-life math skills that will benefit functional skills Collaboration to learn from each other Progress parties -we will always celebrate the progress we make Most importantly, I want to highlight each student's unique strengths  and I cannot wait to see the amazing things tha...

                         🍂 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).                                     ...

  As the school year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting not just on what my students have learned in math—but on how far they’ve come in ways that can’t always be measured by a test or worksheet. This year, we celebrated the big wins—mastering addition strategies, understanding fractions, building confidence with numbers. But we also celebrated the quiet victories: persistence, patience, and courage. Math can be challenging, especially for students who have been told—directly or indirectly—that they’re “not good at it.” One of my greatest goals as a teacher is to help rewrite that story. To show my students that math is not about being fast or perfect, but about thinking, trying, and growing. To my students: I am so proud of you. You showed resilience on the hard days and determination when things didn’t come easily. You learned more than math this year—you learned about yourselves. As we head into summer, I hope my students carry this with them: progress is progress, no ma...
