"All About Me" in Mr. Alex's Class

This week all the friends in my class have been learning and speaking about homes, families and themselves. Throughout the week when we finished speaking one of the above subjects I had the children illustrate a picture to go along with what we spoke about that day. The pictures they drew were put together and stapled to make their own " About Me Book".

Family Trees

We have been busy learning all about ourselves in "All About Me" month! This is such a great social studies topic for the first month of school! We have talked about our features, our families, our favorite things, and we will be working on learning our address and phone numbers. Here is one of the big projects that we have done, Family Trees!

Apple Painting

What better letter to learn about in the first week of school than A? None! The first week of school Erin R’s preparatory kindergarten class explored the letter A. One afternoon we painted with apples. We took several different size and shaped apples and cut them in half. Then with green and red paint we painted with the apple halves.

This was a fun twist on the traditional school apple!

Macaroni E's

This week Erin R’s class preparatory kindergarten class has been learning out the short E sound. We have made books, coloring pages and painting. On Friday to celebrate the end of the week we made macaroni Es. It was interesting to watch the different approaches. Some friends just dropped the macaroni in the glue, while other meticulously placed the macaroni on the glue. The next step was the put the glitter on, and the finally to back our Es on colorful paper. The final product is sure to catch your eye and we had a blast making them!

Kindergarten News- Ms. Mariola's Class

Our first days of Kindergarten were wonderfully smooth and fun. The children are
adjusting well to the new schedule and routines.

I feel lucky to have such a wonderful group of smart and sweet kids.

For the last few days we reviewed class rules and practiced forming good
habits, like sitting properly at the table, holding a pencil the correct way,
looking at the person who is talking to you and following instructions and
directions.

Learning more about our friends and telling every one about our family and things
we like is a great way to make everyone in our class feel comfortable and
a part of one big family/ school community.

My friends are practicing writing their names, letters and numbers, getting
familiar with computer room, doing lots of art and more. We keep very
busy.

I was very glad to see so many grandparents for the Grandparents Social. I
hope all of the grandparents got their Cards for Grandparent's Day.
Thank you to all who came and we are sorry we weren't able to see others.

I'm looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and exploration.

Cursive! Say what??!!!
