Happy 2017!

I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break!  I sure enjoy my time off, but LOVE coming back and seeing my sweet kiddos again!  

This week we have focused on re-building routines, reviewing classroom and school-wide expectations and getting back in the groove of things.  Next week will be full on learning and on schedule again!

Next week's new spelling words: in, if, it 


A few highlights from our week...



Math-we began a new unit on measurement.  We are focusing on non-standard measurement. So far this week we have measured items with snap cubes and our hands.

Makerspace-We participated in Makerspace Friday again with Mrs. Fitch.  This time we learned about the word hobbies.  We learned that creating art with duct tape is one cool hobby that people can have.  We made bookmarks out of duct tape.  Your child could bring theirs home or leave at school in their book box.  




















Creativity Lesson with Mrs. Cardetti- We had our 2nd lesson with Mrs Cardetti from the gifted center.  She does 3 lessons a year with all Kindergartners in the district.  The lessons focus on creativity and being fluent, flexible thinkers aka "thinking outside the box."  The first lesson in the fall the students turned "a nothing into something" and today they were inventors and made inventions they are bringing home.  Ask your child about this lesson!
