Kindergarten News - Week of September 8th

We have had 1​3 days of school!

Friendly Fives. In Math this week we focused on 5’s. How many fingers on one hand? How many toes on one foot? We introduced the Five Frame and practiced counting and recognizing numbers to five. We also introduced a new Workplace - “Spill Five Beans”. Who knew counting and writing numbers would be so much fun?

About our families: we continued showing off family pictures. Each child showed their family picture to the class and told what everyone’s name is (“His name is daddy, but other people call him…”.I love it!). They even talked about where the picture had been taken! Our families will have a permanent place in the classroom for all to visit as needed.

Spin around the Globe: This year our Star Students will each randomly select a country for us to 'visit' and learn about. Our current star, Brooklyn, landed on China. Mr. Daniel taught the class a bit about different cities in China, languages spoken, and population size (the children were pretty impressed!). At the end of week we watched a short video with more fun facts. I wonder where we're heading to next!

⭐Fun facts about our Star Student, Brooklyn Benton:

• Her Birthday was on August 29th
• She likes playing with Magnet tiles and dolls. In her free time she likes to swim in the pool, play with her cousin and look at the stars in the sky.
• Her favorite food is chicken nuggets.
• Her favorite sport is soccer.
• Her favorite colors are pink and purple.
• When she grows up she wants to be a mom.

Color Days have come to an end. We had a wonderful time celebrating all the colors. Sadly, we all have to make our own decisions about what colors to wear from now own! HaHa! The week ended with some rainbow art and, best of all, ice cream with rainbow sprinkles! Yay!
