It seems like just last week we were focusing on the basics of being in school: walking in line, finding the restroom, managing the cafeteria lines and lunches and now we are reading, writing, and working together beautifully! We are very proud of our Explorers!
Here are pictures to recap the last 2 weeks:
We used "magic" paper and paint to write our Chinese numbers.
We sure had a lot of reflections about our field trip to the North Chagrin Nature Center.
A big THANK YOU to Vision First for coming to check our eyes! Going on this special van and seeing the doctor was very exciting.We have been using the iPad to help us with a lot of different skills. Here we are building words...
We participated in Read for the Record. Children all over the United States read Llama Llama Red Pajama on October 6. Click here for more information: Read for the Record Information
Basketball Jones came to visit and provided great fun along with a lesson about doing your best and never giving up!
Last week we started our next Unit of Inquiry-How We Express Ourselves. This unit will look at the various ways expression occurs (talking, singing, dancing, painting clothing, food facial expressions,…), adaptations of people with various disabilities and how our expressions help people understand us.
Picture day was a nice day to see how our young Explorers express themselves with their choice of clothing. Everyone looked beautiful!
We will be introducing Wonder Journals this week. This journal is a special place for your child to record something he/she is questioning. Recording their wonders is a great opportunity for the children to express their thoughts and have a fun record for years to come. *Did you think your child would be this far into writing by October? Kindergarten is so exciting!
Teacher: "I wonder what this could be?"
Student Response, "It is a pumpkin watermelon. Just look at it."
Special Note: Early Dismissal will be this Wednesday at 1:30.
