Hello to the families of our dear Kindergarteners! Thank you for stopping in and taking a look at our class blog. For the first week of Kindergarten, the students really worked hard getting to know their fellow classmates. We did many activities and games throughout the week to help the student's remember their friends names. They even have trouble remembering my name. They call me "teacher" if they ever cannot remember my name. It is quite funny!
The students started off their year by listening to the book "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. If you are not familiar with this book, it is about a raccoon who is going to school for the first time. His mother comforts him giving him a kiss on the palm of his hand and tells him to put his hand to his cheek if he ever feels lonely so he can feel the comfort of his mother. The students loved using paint to make their own kissing hand for their mothers while they are at school.
We have zoomed with full speed into our math lessons. The students were introduced to what a trapezoid, hexagon, and rhombus were and had fun making designs with the shape blocks. Check out the pictures!

I really have enjoyed getting to know your children during this first week. Their unique personalities and their eagerness to learn is what makes me get out of bed each morning. I love teaching! Please stop in and check out the blog on a regular basis, for it will be updated as much as possible.
