Kindergarten News - Week of September 22nd

                                                We have had 22 days of school!

A Peek at our Week

• 
  Star Student: Our Star Student is Jahlicia Petrus (JJ). She just turned 6!
  Her favorite color is blue. She loves going on the playground, jumping rope and playing on her iPad. Her favorite food is Mango Smoothie and her favorite sport is swimming. When she grows up she wants to be a doctor, flight attendant, or (and?) a police officer. The sky is the limit!
  

Using Structures and Patterns. In Math this week we clapped, stomped,
and wiggled as we found fun ways to create patterns. We also used our bodies to create some ‘human’ patterns. The class learned about ABAB, ABC, ABBA, etc. patterns and as the week progressed, we made these patterns using Unifix Cubes. All of it led up to the introduction of our new  Work Place “Unifix Cube Patterns”.

• Parent Night - We decorated our classrooms with our 'Papel Picado' and the Coqui puppets that were made in Spanish class and everyone made sure their desk was nice and tidy. Thank you to all parents and grandparents who made it to this event. It was nice to see you in the classroom and I know your children were very excited to be your ‘tour guides’! If you did not make it yesterday afternoon, I encourage you to come a little earlier one morning or at pick up time and give your child the opportunity to show you around our classroom and tell you about our activities.
• 
  Class Charter: We spent the first month of the school year talking about how we want to feel when we're in school and what we need to do to make sure we achieve that. This week we completed the charter and 'signed it' with handprints.

• Show and Tell: This week, Ghalia and Iron had show and tell. Iron showed a picture of one of his Huskies when he was a puppy, The class had so many questions - What is his name? Do you play with him? Does he sleep inside or outside? Great questions! Then Ghalia showed her Labubu Doll which everyone was familiar with except Ms. Cerni! Ghalia explained that her grandparents always make sure to bring back a gift when they travel, told the class the name of the doll is "Bubblegum", because it said do on the tag. Great job, Iron and Ghalia!

Happy September Birthdays!!
