Author Celebration!
These young authors are ready to share their stories today. They carefully selected their favorite story to revise and worked on making their stories the best they could for several days. We will begin a new writing unit in January titled How-To Books:  Writing to Teach Others.

Measuring and Counting
We finished the pattern unit and started Unit 4: Measuring and Counting. The children used nonstandard units to measure different lengths of objects. They practiced measuring their shoes with cubes and compared sizes. They measured different lengths of paper strips with sticks and ordered them by size. They are learning how to measure carefully and accurately. They are recording their measurements with pictures, numbers, and/or words.

Be sure to check out the snowy bulletin board in the front hallway. The kindergarten friends made snow globes and created a snowman mosaic using different materials. We hope the snow comes back!

Eclipse Glasses   We collected over 5,000 eclipse glasses! We are so thankful for our UCS Community!
