Our Week Of Learning

We went on our second field trip this week.  We visited Radford University and watched the play Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. I had just finished reading the book to the class and they were spellbound during the whole thing.

We visited with our fourth grade book buddies this week.The students from Ms. Kaiser's class came to visit and we shared books and candy canes.

 Twinkle has been one busy little elf this week.

We found him reading a chapter from our Junie B. Jones book on Tuesday.

We found him hanging around our popcorn words.

He left us a message on Wednesday.

We found Twinkle playing legos with the elf from Ms. Thomas' class.

Literacy centers in action.

Look at these sweet gingerbread boys and girls.

We have been working hard on our PTO songs.  We hope to see you at our performance on Tuesday at 7:00 pm.

Have a wonderful `weekend.  Stay warm!

Welcome December!

It's beginning to look a lot like December in kindergarten. This week we started   our December literacy stations and began  some secret projects.

We used our listening ears and followed oral directions to create a mystery picture. Our mystery picture turned out to be a  reindeer!

This week we discussed things that we need and things that we want.  

 We cut out pictures of things we need and want from magazines.

In math we explored shapes and talked about the number of sides and corners shapes have.

 We had fun building shapes out of toothpicks and marshmallows.

We counted to see how many cubes would fit inside different shapes.

We made shape Christmas trees.

On Thursday we had a special delivery straight from the North Pole. Santa sent an Elf to help keep an eye on things in Kindergarten. We named him Twinkle. Friday he brought us cookies to decorate for food Friday. The students can't wait to see what Twinkle is doing each day.

Check out these gingerbread men in disguise.

It was a GREAT week.  Enjoy your weekend!
