We visited the science lab on Monday and learned about magnets and their properties. We experimented with a variety of objects and learned that magnets attract and repel each other and can attract each other through paper. Many thanks to Mrs. Burkhart!
What a wonderful seder! We are so proud of our kindergarten students – they are attentive, enthusiastic and ready for Passover!
Testing is over and we have returned to our normal school day routine. Please check under the “Assignments” tab for homework.
The children have enjoyed reading many versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears throughout the last several weeks. We compared and contrasted the various versions including Goldie and the Three Blairs, The Three Snow Bears and many others. They created puppets and used their Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear, and Goldilocks voices to do a puppet show (or “Reader’s Theatre”) on Fri. Even the shiest among us was creative in voice and words!!
There will be no homework through Tues., March 27, due to the ITBS testing. Please continue reading with your child every day!
The Kindergarten class has been counting the number of days we have been in school. We will reach 100 on Thurs., Feb. 9! We have some special activities planned for the 100th Day.
To help the students see the different ways 100 looks, the homework for each child is to bring in 100 items in a Ziploc bag with his/her name on it. Some ideas include popcorn kernels, macaroni, rice, paper clips, pennies, beans, cereal, buttons, sequins, toothpicks, etc. If you do not have 100 of the same item, that is OK. Choose a variety of items that equal 100. As always, this is another way for your child to use his/her imagination and be creative. The only two requirements are that there be 100 items and the items must all fit into one Ziploc bag. Each child’s Ziploc bag of 100 items will be displayed outside on our bulletin board.
We will also be counting 100 cans of food. Please send in a few cans of non-perishable food. Our goal is to collect 100 cans for the JFCS food pantry.
Good luck and have fun counting!
