Busy February

For being the shortest month of the year, February always seems to be the busiest month in Kindergarten with the 100th Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day and Dental Health Month. In addition to that, the kindergartners enjoyed three field trips this month:  Grand Theater, Bowling (pictures to the left and below) and the Teddy Bear Clinic.

100 Days of Learning, 100 Days of Fun!  We practiced counting by 10's to make our Fruit Loop Necklaces and 100 Day Stamp Book.  The students did a great job stamping their 10's like the 10 Frame we use in Math.

We also enjoyed using the iPads for Digital Learning Day.  For Math, we played a game called Math Slides on the iPads.  Later, we went on a QR Code Scavenger Hunt.  After scanning the code, we were able to do an activity on the iPad as well.

For Superkids, we've met all the Superkids and now are having Superkids' Club Days.  On those days, students have independent work while the teachers meet with small reading groups.  The books we read with the students are available on Superkids Online Fun.  Please have your child go to the Superkids Online Fun site or use the app.  It has fun literacy games, and the books we've read in class.  It is a great way for students to practice their reading.

In Social Studies, we have been learning about George Washington and Abe Lincoln.  Both classes made life size Abe Lincoln's.  With his hat on, he was over 7 feet tall!  We learned interesting facts about both of these presidents, and how they are an important part of our history.
