Hi all! Hope you are all safe and sound after the lovely ice we had yesterday. With the bizarre weather we are having, please be sure to dress your child in layers for school. It may be awful at the beginning of the day, but by recess we may be able to go outside and enjoy some fresh air. If it is above 32 degrees, we will go outside, weather conditions permitting. Also, the temperature in our classroom fluctuates, but it is usually one of the warmest classrooms in the building. By 10:00, most of us are wearing short sleeves! Thanks for your help in keeping the students comfortable.
The third quarter begins on Wednesday! This means that the content will continue to get more difficult to ensure that the students are ready to start first grade in the fall. Some of the tasks that can be practiced at home include: Writing first AND last names correctly, counting to 100, counting back from 10-0, and writing numbers from 1-20.

Request
Hello all,
The cold and flu season is here...this means we are using a lot of sanitizer in our classroom. If you would like to donate a bottle of sanitizer for the classroom, it would be greatly appreciated. We are trying to keep all of the children (and grown-ups) healthy. We love to see their smiling faces each day!
Thanks!

January 15
Hello all! It is hard to believe that we are halfway through January AND halfway through the school year. The quarter ends on Monday 1/23/12. The year is going so quickly and I am enjoying each day with my wonderful kindergarten kiddos! We have been completing our quarterly assessments and I am so impressed with each student's growth since the beginning of the year. They have all been working so hard and I am incredibly proud of each and every student!
This past week we began to focus on comparing weight using a pan balance. We learned that when things are heavy the pan goes down and when things are light the pan goes up. We also studied plot--what happens in a story. The students and I made up a cheer which they enjoyed. The class also studied verbs this week. We asked ourselves, "Can you do it?" If the answer was yes, then it is a verb! The students had a good time demonstrating their knowledge of verbs, as we marched, jumped, hopped, skipped and tiptoed through the classroom!
