Happy Thanksgiving!

On Tuesday we were able to head outside and observe fall changes happening around us. Before we went for our walk we brainstormed changes we might see... leaves changing color and falling to the ground, birds flying south and people dressing in warmer clothes. We also read the story The Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. When we went out to find leaves for the classroom we made sure to listen for leaf man rustling and look for parts of him that might be hiding in the leaves! 

 

 

 
 

 

As usual we had to spend some time rolling down the hill!

We continue to work on subitizing groups to 6. This time we played the math game Fill The Cup.

After we have lunch we have been working on read to self time. Mrs. Maris has done a great job getting the students to choose a book and read the pictures to themselves. 

 

Of course the students have been busy creating, counting, building, sharing, painting and playing at center time!

On Thursday we worked to get our turkeys done for Thanksgiving! Wishing all of our Kindergarten families a very Happy Thanksgiving Day! 

 And a very crafty girl made a Mummy at the craft center! 

See you on Tuesday! The K Team :)

Bus Barn Fun!

On Thursday, we visited Lita and Sheila at the Bus Barns. 

First, we watched a safety video to learn about bus safety and then we shared the bus safety rules we knew. 

Next, we got to practice our bus safety. We watched for the bus driver to wave us across when it is safe, held the rail getting onto the bus, sat down in our seats and learned

that there are 8 emergency exits on a bus. Did you know the front window can be kicked out? Then we got to practice an emergency exit out the back door of the bus. We had to make fists, tuck in our arms and then jump down out of the bus with help from adults. Even Mr. Monster got to try it! 

Finally, we got to head out on the open road and go for a ride around town in the bus! We saw so many things outside the window! Thank you Lita and Sheila for letting us practice inside so we didn't get too cold! It was so much fun:)

This week in our gym time we played Musical Hoops. We are practicing safe running, walking and moving in the gym. We have not had one crash! Mrs. Eberts' thinks we are amazing!!

 Look at us line up! We are doing a great job learning how to follow basic classroom and school routines! 

Have a great weekend everyone and see you on Tuesday!

The K Team and Mr. Monster!
