Miss Ryan & Mrs. Ford's Kindergarten: Week of February 13th

Happy Friday!

Hope you are enjoying this rainy Friday off!

We had an awesome love filled week in Kindergarten! A HUGE thank you to all of you for the sweetest gift of the flowers & gift cards! We are so lucky to have all of you and your children apart of our classroom community! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day, you definitely made ours! Thank you again! 💝

This week we learned about what kinds of things do scientists study! Our read alouds this week were Dear Mr. Blueberry, What Is Science?, Benji, the Bad Day, and Me, My Dog Thinks I Am A Genius, and looked through 5000 Awesome Facts About Everything (our star student Brennan's favorite book!).

In ELA this week we focused on different things scientists study. We talked about different types of weather, volcanoes, nature ... you name it! We discovered that science is all around us! We focused on the main idea of texts and details that support it. Our letter of the week was 'Xx'! We met our next letter person Mr. X who is All Mixed Up! We completed our Mr. X puppet. In grammar we focused on questions and question words! We continued through Chapter 6 in Math learning about bar graphs, equal parts, and symmetry! In Religion we continued to pray for our February intentions and learned about how we celebrate Jesus' gift of Himself.

We had a great time in Centers this week! In the Word Work Center we check out Letter People books and focused on narrative writing. In the math center the students used connecting blocks to create Valentine's Day pattern pictures. In the art center the students made an amazing Abraham Lincoln & George Washington craft with Mrs. Lowe! In the discovery center the students built log cabins using Lincoln logs! Students read a book, played on an iPad, or did a puzzle in the free center!

We had the best time at our Valentine's Day party on Tuesday! Thank you to all that contributed to our fun! The students had so much fun handing out their valentines to their friends, eating yummy treats, playing "Pin The Heart!", and watching Charlie Brown's Valentine!
