Another Mystery Reader!!

Thank you Mr. Ruzzo!! We loved having you!!

Thank you!

I do not want to forget to thank these parents, Mrs. Colombo, Mrs. Doe, Mrs. Nicholas, Mrs. LaRose and Mrs. Cabezud for purchasing books and certificates from the Literacy Fair. I soooo appreciate the contributions. We use our Dr. Seuss books so often that I needed to replace some very popular titles. They were very tattered and well loved. THANK YOU again for your thoughtfulness!!

100th day of School

On Wednesday February 12th, the kindergarten classes will be celebrating the 100th day of Kindergarten. We would like  you to bring into class a collection of 100 things to share with your classmates. It could be 100 buttons, 100 straws, 100 stickers on a T shirt, 100 painted flowers on a poster board, 100 sequins on a hat etc.... You can be as creative as you want as long as you can easily carry it to school. You can begin bringing your projects in on Monday February 10th. Happy collecting!

Boss? Friend?

Can you tell who is the Boss? Can you tell who is a Friend? Mrs. Bockhurst visited with us again and explained the difference in a fun and engaging lesson. Check out the ways you can find out!

Mystery Reader

Mystery Reader

One of our Mystery Readers, Mrs. Tower, surprised us with stories and music! While she read, we listened and sang out some tunes. So much fun!

Happy Holidays!

Mrs. Malmquist and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your thoughtful gifts. We wish all of you a wonderful holiday as we head into the New Year!

It's all about addition!

We are learning that addition means putting things together. We listened to a story problem and brainstormed ways to show how to solve the problem.............

Please NOTE....

It is winter! It is snow gear time! Please remember to LABEL your child's clothing!! Some can't remember what belongs to them and if it isn't claimed and has no name on it it will go into the Lost and Found. Also it is important that all rest blankets have a bag AND snow gear has a bag. This is the only way to keep your child's things organized and in cubbies. PLEASE PLEASE be mindful of this.

Also on another note: You need to return the report card envelope with your signature on it. THANKS!

Mystery Reader

Thank you to Mrs. LaRose for being our first Mystery Reader guest! How lucky are we to have fabulous moms and dads to share a book or two with us on a Friday morning!!

It's all about names!

Mrs. Teany came in to the classroom with a lesson on names! What do you notice about your name? How is it like someone else in your room? What do you notice about the chart? We enjoyed the time comparing our names and finding similarities.

Coding

Last Friday we spent time in the classroom learning about coding with Beebots! We can't wait to do it again in small groups.....so much FUN!!

The ZONES of regulation

Mrs. Bockhurst came to visit the classroom Friday to talk about the zones of regulation. These zones help the children determine the kind of energy they have by how they or a friend feels at certain times during the day. 

Outside Recess Guidelines

With cold weather approaching, please be sure to send children with appropriate winter clothing for outdoor recess. In addition, please label your child’s items as our lost & found box continues to grow. In most cases, we use the thermometer to determine if the children go outside for recess. If the temperature is below 20 degrees (with or without the windchill) the kids will stay inside for recess. Otherwise, we head outside for fresh air as long as the conditions on the playground are safe. Decisions regarding recess are made as close to the lunch block as possible to allow for the sun to (hopefully) work some magic. If the temperatures are below 20 degrees in the morning, the children enter the building and wait in the gymnasium until the start of the school day

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Trick!

Thank you to the moms who put on a great party today for Room 6. The weather was a bit dreary but warm. We paraded around the building despite the weather and were greeted by so many friends and family!

We earned it!

Today we earned a pajama day for all of the hard work we put into school so far this year. We were comfy in our PJs all day and had a chance to cuddle up with some of our favorite stuffies!
