Kindergarten

February was a very busy month in Kindergarten.  We had a great time decorating our valentine bags and then had even more fun opening our valentines from our classmates. 

 We celebrated 100 days of school by counting to 100, counting 100 pennies, 100 candy hearts, counting 100 stuffed animals in our class and making a necklace with 100 fruitloops!  Wow 100 is a lot!!

We had a special visit from Sonia who works at Smiles Dental Clinic.  She told us all about how to take good care of our teeth. 

We had fun participating in the winter olympics in P.E. with Coach Claire.  (pictures coming soon). We enjoyed world math day doing math activities on our new smart board!  It sure shows how smart we are!

Today we celebrated 100 days of school.  We had great fun counting to 100 several times.  We also read several books about 100 days of school. 

We just finished counting 100 pennies and 100 candy valentine candy hearts.  Now we get to eat our 100 fruit loop necklaces

We counted the 100 stuffed animals in our class! 

Today we got to play a new valentine game on our smart board!  It was really fun as we worked on sequencing letters in the alphabet!

Kindergarten had a great field trip to the Cayman Islands Firestation.  Some of us might be a firefighter some day!

Kindergarten is off and running in the new year.  We are learning about seasons and weather with an emphasis on winter.  The weather has been very helpful in explaining winter with our cool windy days this week.  In this new year we will be painting snowman and eating snowballs (rice krispy balls rolled in powdered sugar- yummy) and learning how to use a thermometer and a wind gauge.  The children will be taking home their new reading folders as they begin the new adventure of reading independently and we will be working on patterns in math.  Stay tuned for more pictures soon!

WE love our friends!!

Kindergarten has been busy cooking again.  This time pumpkin pancakes were the hit of the day!  Now we have to decide if we liked the pumpkin pancakes or the apple pancakes more!  Watch here for the results!

The Kindergarten and fifth/sixth grade class have started a new buddy reading time.  The older students are reading to the kindergarten students for now.  Soon the kindergarten students will be reading to the older students.  We are enjoying getting to know each other and look forward to this weekly time. We love our reading buddies!!

  Kindergarten has started swimming lessons at the lions pool.  It is great fun to learn how to swim and stay safe around the water.  We will continue swimming for the next 3 weeks.  

We have also been working hard to learn our weekly bible verses.  In September we had a big celebration for the students who had learned all four bible verses for September.  Way to Go!!! 

Don’t forget the fall dinner this Friday night and the Kindergarten informational meeting on Tuesday October 20th at 5:30.
