In math, we continued to talk about 2D and 3D shapes. We practiced making shapes with our bodies (see this week's pictures), and the kids learned how to draw a cube, a cylinder, and a cone. By learning to draw these shapes, they now have the basis to draw many other things, from blocks, to cakes, to hats, to ice cream cones, and more! We also deconstructed numbers, finding multiple ways to make the same number (i.e. 6 can be 4 and 2, or 5 and 1, or 3 and 3, or 6 and 0). We revisited graphing, talked about the values of a penny, a nickle, and a dime, practiced writing our numbers to 100, and learned a new game called "Chocar" (Bump).
We went on a nature walk to compare the similarities and differences between fall and winter and learned clothing vocabulary. We had our first art class with a licensed art teacher (did you hear about their Picasso's?), and we attended an all-school assembly in which students from grades 2-5 performed folkloric dances from various Hispanic countries. On Friday, we read a book called Froggy Se Viste (Froggy Gets Dressed) with the other 3 Kindergarten classes. The kids really enjoyed it!
Friday, December 19th
1:50pm - 2:40pm
The kids will be making a craft, enjoying a snack, and watching a wordless movie called "The Snowman" while enjoying hot chocolate. Here is a link to the Sign-up Genius for the party. Please don't forget to send what you signed up for by Wednesday, December 17th!
There will be NO SCHOOL from December 20th - January 4th
Enjoy the time off with family and friends!
I will not be at school on Thursday or Friday this week, but the kids will be in very capable hands.
I won't be changing my name at school, so they don't have to worry about that. =]
I will miss them all over break, and I hope you have simply wonderful holidays!
