Testing Update

We have completed DRA and PALS testing. I will be sending home a 2nd nine week summary home in the next two weeks with all of your studen't updated information. I was very, very pleased with the results!

Today was "Ee" Day!

We celebrated the letter E by changing classrooms and completing different E activities! It was fun for the kids to travel to different classrooms and experience different teachers while learning about the letter E!

In Mrs. Edwards' class the students practiced measuring by using a balance. The kids estimated how many cubes each elephant weighed. Then, they got to check! They also participated in an egg relay and enjoyed a snack of Eggos!



 

 

 





In my classroom, we cooked! We made yummy Elephant Ears! We also played a fun game to review sight words!





In Mrs. Urban's classroom the kids heard a story about one of my favorite Dr. Seuss Characters: Horton the Elephant. The kids also practiced fine motor skills by coloring, cutting, and assembling an adorable elephant headband!



Mrs. Wilson played a math game in her classroom. The student rolled a die and put that many peanuts on their elephant game board. The person who filled their board up first won!

It was a very fun day in kindergarten!







We've been reading Jan Brett books during November and December. We enjoy her beautiful illustrations and winter stories. We have been learning about visualizing and making predictions. Practice visualizing and predicting as you read books with your child!

Cover your cough!

Many students have been sick with coughs, colds, and strep throat. Please encourage your child to wash hands regularly and cover their cough with their elbow!

I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving! I am sorry for the delay of October and November pictures and videos! Computer troubles and a very busy schedule are to blame! I will be working on them afterschool today. Enjoy!
