It's Apple Picking Time

We have been studying a unit on apples. Soo… grab a basket and get ready to pick out your favorite apples. I hope none are rotten!
We’ve enjoyed several different types of apple activities. In math, we sorted our apples by color. We had more red apples brought to school, but when we graphed our favorite apple the green apple was our winner. We discovered that apples taste differently especially when there is a gummy worm on your plate. We wrote in our journals about apples. We completed three different apple art activities with the help of Mrs. Beard and Mrs. Lively. We would like to thank you ladies for volunteering in our room. We enjoyed having you and hope that you will come back soon!
On Friday, I showed a video from United Streaming that discussed about how apples grow, are harvested, and made into different things. Last, it talks about how the apples finally make it to us in the store. After watching the video we completed a KWL chart.
Ms. Phyllis visited the store to purchase apple juice and dried apples to make fried apple pies. They were delicious! Our room smelled wonderful!
We would like to say a special thank you to all of the parents that sent in apples to our room! We appreciate all that you do and donate.

Kindergarten Clowns

If I Were A Clown

If I were a clown
For just one day
I’d make up my face
In the funniest way.

A nose like a hose
Eyebrows of green
And the biggest smile
You’ve ever seen.

Mrs. Haught's Tots Are Juggling Academics and Fun!

The Circus has come to town. It might look like we're clowning around in Kindergarten, but we’ve been very busy juggling patterns, recognizing 2 & 3 D shapes, practicing sight words, position words, rhyming words, and name writing.

Wednesday is Library Day

Library Day

We will visit the library on Wednesday mornings. In the library, Mrs. Cassidy will entertain them with a story. The first few weeks in the library, we focused on book care, listening skills, and how to select a book. This past Wednesday the children had the opportunity to select a book to keep in the classroom. The books will be shared with each other and our reading buddies. Starting this week, the students will be able to check out a book and borrow it for a week. Please don’t forget to return your book before our next scheduled library day.
