Last Week and Upcoming!

Hello parents and families!

The students had a great time learning this past week, Aug. 2oth-24th! They learned more about their five senses; hearing, tasting, smelling, seeing, and touching! Students did hands on projects to aid in knowing what parts of your body are used to apply those senses. Students really enjoyed using their smelling sense through their nose to smell various spices, and they also enjoyed using their tongue to taste various items that stimulated the areas of the tongue; salty (salt), sweet(sugar), bitter(tea), and sour(lemons).

We also learned the letters T,t and I,i and the new sight words 'for' 'and' & 'he.'

We also celebrated Alexavier Tasher turning 5 years old this week! Happy Birthday, Alex!



This current week August 27th-31st, we will be learning about the parts of our body, their functions, and what our bodies can do! We will learn about our brain, muscles, bones, digestive system, respiratory system and skin. We will be creating images of our bodies by doing body tracings and including our own interpretations of what the insides of our bodies look like.

We also have been adding some great journal entries to our class journals and creating words by stretching out the sounds of the letters within words, and using tools in our classroom  like the word wall and our ABC charts. We also learned the letters F,f and B,b and O,o and N,n as well as the new sight words 'it' 'of' & 'go.'

In math we have been learning even more about attributes of other people, and how to sort items in the real world into categories, like sorting our classmates by shoe types, pant types, and by gender!

We practice everyday to become expert readers, writers, and math investigators!

Picture day was this past Monday, and I really enjoyed seeing all of our fabulous students in their finest attire! Can't wait for you to see their photos when we get them back!

Don't forget parents!! This upcoming Monday, Sept. 3, is Labor Day and school will be closed. Have an amazing three day weekend, and we will see you next Tuesday!

Best,

Miss Crowl and the Kindergarteners of Rm. 40.

Hello parents and families!

The students had a great time learning this past week! They learned about their five senses; hearing, tasting, smelling, seeing, and touching, and did art projects to go with them. Hope you enjoyed them when the children took them home! :) We also learned the letters S,s and D,d and the new sight words 'I' and 'am.' This upcoming week we will be learning about the five senses some more, and what parts of our body we use to experience them. We also have been adding some great journal entries to our class journals, and have been learning about attributes of buttons and pattern blocks!

We also enjoyed going to our first assembly about Anti-Bullying, and had a great time learning about being kind to our friends and singing together.


           We also celebrated Andrea Gonzalez's birthday this week as she turned five years old!
                                                           
Happy birthday Andrea!


Have a great week and we will see you again soon!

First Week of School

Hello parents and families!

Congratulations on completing the first week of Kindergarten!

This week was a new and exciting time for all of us, and the students learned a lot! We practiced our alphabet, learned calendar routines, and had a lot of fun in our specials classes; PE, Spanish, Music, TDPE and Learning Labs.

This upcoming week we will be learning some of our first new sight words, learning how to participate in new math stations, and also exploring and creating with the colors red, blue, yellow, orange, green and purple! We will also continue reading our book "In Kindergarten," and we will also be practicing writing our names, and the reading/writing the upper and lowercase letters M and A.

Be sure to check our blog each week for updates, pictures, and other important info!

Best,

Miss Crowl and the Room 40 Kindergarteners!
