Even though my children are older, the leprechauns still come to our house. The toilet water magically turns green, messages are written on the bathroom mirror in green marker and mischievous messes appear. Mrs. Eddy and I had some fun this week with St. Patrick's Day activities. We compared different versions of the folk tale about Finn McCoul, sorted and graphed Lucky Charms, made Mrs. Eddy's mysterious goo, estimated and made rainbows with Fruit Loops, painted shamrocks, brainstormed green items and read some wonderful stories.
Welcome!
First of all, we are happy to welcome back Mrs. Lamphere. The children and I were excited to have her return to our classroom. We are also looking forward to welcoming two new students this week. We will be spending some time reviewing and teaching our classroom expectations so that everyone is ready to do their best learning. Twenty-one students is a large kindergarten class and all children must be cooperative so that everyone has a successful experience.
Boots and Snow pants:
Please continue to send your child with boots, snow pants, hats and mittens/gloves every day. It is supposed to be a chilly week and we want our students to be warm outdoors. The mud on the playground is freezing up again, but by the end of the day (when we have recess), it gets quite messy. Please help us keep your children warm and dry.
Words of the Week: for, have
Wheels:
This week we will be reading some books about things with wheels, building some ramps in science and working with wheels in our math notebooks.
