A Walk in the Forest

By Miss Annie

Ms. Annie shared the book she has been working on and trying to get published! We enjoyed watching the gnome travel through the forest, find different plants, and have adventures with animals. Ask your child to share about her book.

 Happy Numbers

Mr. Weber helped us learn how to play the math game, Happy Numbers. The students learned how to use the iPad to scan their code and begin playing. They first completed a short assessment to determine what level to start and then enjoyed going on adventures to earn badges. They will play this game during station time throughout the year.

 From Caterpillar to Butterfly

We released our butterfly today. We enjoyed feeding it milkweed leaves as a caterpillar. We watched it closely when it was ready to make a chrysalis. We were surprised to see a butterfly this morning! We brought it over to the pollinator garden so it could drink nectar before flying off.

Hopes and Dreams

We listened to the book, Leo the Lightning Bug, and shared ideas about what we hope to learn and do this year in kindergarten. Everyone chose one thing they hope to do and added it to the classroom tree we painted together.

 Recycle Rhonda

Recycle Rhonda from Chittenden Solid Waste District visited UCS on Wednesday. She taught us about reducing, reusing, and recycling. The children learned how all the trash goes in the landfill but we can limit what goes in there by recycling and composting. The children practiced sorting materials and learned how important it is to reduce waste to be planet protectors.
