THANK YOU, PARENTS!

A big thank you to everyone who helped to make our Winter Party so much fun.  As you can see from the following pictures, the students really enjoyed themselves.  The parent turnout was amazing!  We almost had as many parents as students in attendance.  My parents are the greatest!!!

ARTS AND CRAFTS

We love arts and crafts!

FUN AND GAMES

We got the nose on Rudolph!  Pass the snowman was so much fun!

LET'S MAKE A SNOWMAN

We had fun making our snowmen treats.  We had even more fun eating them!

THIS WEEK!

Our school counselor visited our class this week.  We talked about random acts of kindness, what it is, and how we can implement that into our daily lives.  We are working on doing it in our classroom.  On Friday a student carried another's backpack to the bus for him because it was too heavy for the student to carry with all of his other gear.  What a nice act of kindness that was!

It's hard to stay focused at this time of year.  We are doing some breathing exercises to help us relax and stay focused. 

The students have been working hard on their second quarter testing.  We are finished except for a few makeup tests.

We are preparing for the next quarter when we will be having Guided Reading and Literacy Centers.  We will be working on The Daily Five, a management system, which will help us get all of our reading and writing work in each week.  The students practiced read to self and I was so proud of them.  They looked like first graders.  Way to go, kindergartners!

Our ipads are here and we have begun to learn how we're going to use them next quarter during our literacy time.

We have an exciting week coming up!  The kindergartners are really looking forward to our Winter Party.

BUDDING AUTHOR!

What great work, Sam!  Keep writing those books.

BUDDING AUTHOR!

WE ARE TESTING!

Amidst all the fun this week, we began our second quarter testing.  We completed the second round of letter of the day, finished our class book, We Are Thankful, decorated the hall for the holidays, went to the library and the book fair, and worked on learning plane shapes.  We will continue testing this week. 

See you at the High School Auditorium at 1:45 on Sunday with your little snowflakes.

BUDDY ACTIVITY!

Wednesday was Buddy Day at Concord School.  Here are the kindergartners and their third grade buddies working together brainstorming ideas about how they can show caring, our character word for December. 

CRAZY HAIR DAY!

Thanks, parents, for your contributions to our Adopt-a-Family program on Crazy Hair Day!  We had quite a variety of colors and hairdos.  They were very creative and the kindergartners enjoyed every minute of it.

Winter Musical

Parents, please bring your little snowflake to the High School Auditorium by 1:45 on Sunday.
