Pete the Cat, Star Letters, and Terry Fox!

Hello everyone!

It was fabulous to have the whole class attend full days together this week! Everyone is learning the routines and learning to work together. Much of what we do in the early part of the year is get to know each other through play. The class has a “morning choice” time when they choose hands-on activities or finish up work. We also have a longer “exploration” time in the afternoon when the students can choose where they would like to play.

Art Projects

There are many opportunities to explore through art. This week we learned about “lines” by painting rainbow lines for our self-portrait backgrounds and creating name banners.

Star Letter

Every week we focus on learning all about one or two letters. We learn to recognize letters, learn the sounds, and print the letters correctly. This week we learned about M and S. Here are the Kindergarten friends learning how to print “s” on their whiteboards.

Pete the Cat

Many of our activities this week focused on “Pete the Cat” books.

Check out these cute Pete the Cats with the letters of our names on the buttons.

Guest Reader

We were fortunate to have Mr. Hodges visit our classroom to read us the fun book “Pigeon goes to School”. We hope to have him visit us again soon!
