Christmas Service - Before and After

As the children arrived, all spiffy-looking in their Christmas clothes, they enjoyed socializing while they waited.  

After the service, each class was posed for photos.

Kindergarten in Mid-December

In math we worked with partners to graph how many times we rolled each number on the dot cube.

Can you tell how quietly we are working?  Look - we
even remembered to raise our hands!

We used shapes (ovals, triangles, rectangles, etc.) to
create a Nativity Scene.

National Cookie Day

We had a surprise visitor for National Cookie Day!

Kindergarten Shape Snack

We sorted our shapes - cylinders, cubes, spheres, and
and a cone.  Then we ate them !  This was just a fun
introduction.  We will touch on each of these shapes
once more during the year.  

Health Screening

Take a sneak peak at our health screening.

We were weighed...

and measured.

Our eyes were checked...

two ways!

Then we were directed to the
hearing area...

where nurse Hugo explained to us
what we would be doing.

We each had a turn to listen in the
headphones and raise a hand
when we heard a sound.

Thank you to the nurses and volunteers who did a wonderful job.  Thank you GOD for our healthy bodies!

Indoor Recess

Here is what indoor recess looked like on Thursday.

A rare chance to play with blocks

Checkers is always fun. Later they switched to TicTac Toe.

Sara loves the Pirate Puzzle!

Most chose to draw, color, cut and glue!

Highlights of the Week

On Tuesday we watched a play called
'New Kid'.  As you can tell, it held our
attention very well.

Here is a shot of the set and one of the actors.  See if
it can help your child tell you what the play was about.
We had some good discussions about it, and compared
it to a few of our favorite books!

Of course the highlight of highlights was Muffins for Moms.
Here is a shot of the Early Bird group.  It was treat to
see you there!

Every Day Activities

At home you only see the paper side of things.  Here are some samples of the types of activities we do.

Ten Commandments Math - We tried different combinations
for 10 and recorded them as equations.

We matched the letter (on the leaf) to the picture on the
sorting mat and recorded our answers on the sheet provided.

We learned about lines - horizontal, vertical, straight and
crooked. Then we made some with glue and Yarn on
Yellow paper (for letter Y).
