Wednesday Morning Treat!

The kindergarten friends started their morning by singing with Buddy Dubay! They enjoyed singing some of their favorite songs and even learned some new ones. They love to sing and dance with Buddy. It is always a fun way to start the day!

Winter 

This week we discussed different activities we like to do in the winter. The children brainstormed activities like sledding, snowboarding, skiing, and building snowmen. They make snowy pictures using cray-pas and made snowflakes by folding and cutting paper. They also wrote about different things they like to do in the winter. 

Weather

Kindergarten friends are learning how the weather might change from day to day. They are observing and recording weather. Today they were surprised to see a snow squall and they learned about this kind of weather. It lasted for about 30 minutes and then it was sunny!

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.

UID Winter Lights Concert and Craft Fair

Due to the snow storm last week, we have rescheduled the concert and craft fair for Wednesday, December 17th at 1:00.  We hope you can join us!

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!
