VALENTINES INFORMATION: If you plan on having your child bring Valentines please have them fill out Valentines for the entire class 
(AM: 32 students or  PM: 35 students). 
Your child may bring these for distribution on Wednesday February 12th. They will just need to write their name in the 'from' area. This makes it easier for Kinders to hand out their Valentines independently. 


Today in Kindergarten...


  • AM & PM Kinders participated in a MINDFUL MONDAY activity called ALL ABOARD. Students were required to work as a team in order to get the entire class on the boat. The problem....the boat continued to decrease in size! We discovered using 'helpful words and instructions' are needed for a group to achieve a common goal. 
  • AM & PM Kinders practiced being mindful through YOGA
  • AM Kinders were introduced to SPLAT MATH. Students would count the initial number  of dots. A SPLAT would happen and they had to explain how many dots were under the splat and prove how they knew it through varying strategies. (See below example)
  • PM Kinders examined a winter photograph. Students then imagined what they could SEE, TOUCH, HEAR and SMELL if they were in the picture.
