Corn Maze Fun




So today we had our first field trip and it was a success! I literally had some students screaming about hearing the tractor because they were so excited to have a ride on it. We had some time to jump on the bouncy area, a tractor ride through the large corn maze, we had a chance to pet the animals (cats, goats, pigs, and donkeys). The time went by too fast and some of us fell asleep on the way home we were so tired from our exciting day! Here are a few pictures for those of you who were not there.

REMINDER:
If your child is sharing this week please make sure they bring their object to share with the class. It makes it much more fun when all students participate.

List for Show-and-Share

Starting October 11th, we will be starting our show-and-share time for the students. The children may bring in an object that is meaningful and special to them to share with the class, please remember to not bring toys. The show-and-share time is an opportunity for students to practice speaking in front of others while sharing and learning together. If your child chooses to read something out loud to the class about their object they may do so also.

Here is the schedule for sharing:

During the week, your child may choose which day they would like to share, it can be Mon,Tues,Wed,Thurs, or Friday. Whichever day works best for your child that week.

There are no last names added to the list due to privacy laws, but there are no students with the same name so it works out well :)

Kindergarten AM:
October 11-14, Renee, Arseniy, Serena
October 17-21, Alyssa, Freya, Alayna
October 24-28, Lukas, Asianna, Michelino

Kindergarten PM:
October 11-14, Elara, Anusha,
October 17-21, Liam, Rumaysa,Georgia

Dear Parents,

This is the first time blogging for the Kindergarten class. This is a great way to keep posted and keep in touch with reminders about important information for your children. Please check this blog daily as this is similar to an "agenda" but we are saving a lot of paper and it is much more convenient for everyone! Many schools are moving into online agendas such as blogs like this to keep posted with daily reminders about homework or other important reminders. If you have any personal questions please e-mail me with your questions.

It is already the last week of September and I can see the students have progressed through building relationships among other Kindergarten students in the class, both AM and PM students. We have created a class book titled "Kindergarten children, Kindergarten children, Who do you see?" with each child creating their own face through paintings, similar to the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Who do you see?" illustrated by Eric Carle. Each child will have the chance to bring this book home to enjoy reading to you. Please bring it back the next day so everyone will have the chance to enjoy it.


We look forward to seeing you all at the Thanksgiving celebration next Friday :)

Have a great weekend!
