Baking Cookies

Valentine's Day was celebrated in our class through a variety of activities ranging from decorating cards, handing out Valentine's to friends, reading books about Valentine's Day and baking cookies! A huge thank you to Caleb and Michael's moms who spent the morning with us and were a tremendous help with baking the cookies and making the icing. Our students had a wonderful time and learned about following steps, measurement and turn taking. Once the cookies were ready to decorate, each child had an opportunity to decorate two heart cookies and really let their creativity out as they beautifully decorated their Valentine cookies! What a fun hands-on activity for all!

Shark Inquiries

Our class is in the midst of learning about sharks! We have been asking questions and researching answers together to learn more about the amazing animals. In the following pictures, students are working together to create our hallway display. Working towards a common goal not only fosters students' planning and communication skills, but it also creates a rapport amongst our students by proudly displaying thier hard work to others.

Building with Tegu Blocks

 Mrs.Lepage and Mrs. Marcella bought some magnetic blocks for our Kindergartens and they wasted no time constructing a variety of structures from rockets to cars. The students worked hard to build structures they were proud of.

Time to relax!

Sometimes during the day you just need some quiet time! Here are four friends listening to music! 

Alphabet Games!

Our Kindergarten class enjoys working with letters. This activity had students line up in alphabetical order and allowed children to interact with their peers and to have awareness of self to stand in lign in the appropriate spot depending on what letter each student was given. It is a fun activity that promotes learning about letters while promoting social interactions amonngst the Kinders. In addition, students practiced the sounds each letter makes. 

Sight Word Activities

Our students are busy learning their sight words! We provide them with a variety of hands on activities that allow our Kinders to explore these important words that support learning to read.

Winter Experiment

One of our classroom inquiries about winter prompted us to explore the properties of ice and snow. Our experiment was to test what would melt faster; ice or snow.

The future scientists made predictions and then excitedly waited to discuss our findings.
