Peek at our Week September 26-30


We had a great first week of studying community helpers.  Through dramatic play, matching games, discussion, and books, we were able to get a better idea of the types of community helpers we have in our town.  We will finish up our study next week! Check out the pictures below to see what we've been up to.

Owen was taking orders for food!

We all enjoyed our brand new sight word game "BOOM!"

Anther group working hard on BOOM!

Our art study focused on drawing with perspective.

Pumpkins closer up should be larger than pumpkins on a hill far away.

We first practiced drawing on whiteboards and then on paper with pencils.  We traced our pencil lines with black marker before coloring.

During Read to Self time, students love reading the big books with pretend audiences.

We built our sight words with connecting cubes! ONE

Fire Station Visit

On October 4th, we will be going to the Seymour Fire station for fire safety week. I will send home the permission slip on Friday, to be returned in the red folder. This is also during our study of community helpers.   I am looking into making a stop at another building to do a quick walk through  to learn about their occupation (such as hospital, post office, dentist, etc.).  If you have any suggestions or connections, please let me know!

Peek at our Apple week

Wow! What an amazing week we had. Kindergarten was bursting with Apple fun all week. I am sure your children slept well on Friday (I know their teacher did)! We had a great time not only celebrating grandparents breakfast but also had apple art, science experiments, made applesauce, apple people, and so much more. Check out the pictures for a peek at our week :)
