Wow families! What a busy week it has been! Our Lab School picnic was a roaring success, and we’re happy to report that every single kindergartener and his or her families made it. It was wonderful to get to see the children outside of school and to interact with all of the families. We’re loving these opportunities to get to know more about you as the year gets rolling.
In the classroom you’re children are becoming excellent students. The children are showing and talking about many different ways to be kind to their friends, teachers, and classrooms, including:
- raising a quiet hand when wanting to contribute to a group conversation
- listening to a friend when he or she is speaking
- Saying kind words and asking friends for help
- Sharing
- taking turns
Your children are also participating in many new activities. This past week in the classroom we have:
- gone on a shape walk around campus identifying arches and triangles
- built our homes out of grapes and toothpicks and Gore Hall out of cheese and toothpicks
- explored shaving cream
- painted beads following a picture book which we will be stringing soon
- introduced our new dramatic play: the doctors office. Which comes fully stocked with a working x-ray machine, doctors and nurses uniforms, patient waiting area – even with paperwork to be filled out! and of course many ace-bandages.
- introduced gas pumps and signs to our recess time. Which has turned the playground into a mini highway filled with stop signs, one way signs, and a gas station.
- been archaeologists and dug for letters in the sand
- created our own patters and looked for patterns in the classroom.
Many of this past weeks activities have been documented on our digital camera for your viewing pleasure. Please browse the pictures and look at all of the fun things going on! And as always any comments are welcomed.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Miss Katie, Miss Diane, Miss Sarah, Miss Allyson, and Miss Brenna
