It is hard to believe that it is already November and we have finished our first quarter of kindergarten! I have loved getting to know each child and have seen so much growth already!
We started our week off with a Steam day. The students made a ghost house with snap cubes, built a fence for the 5 little pumpkins, made a pumpkin patch on the iPad, and made jack-o-lanterns for our door decoration!
We had a blast at our Book or Treat! Thank you for sending in candy and books for this fun event! Also we enjoyed the Big Blast on Tuesday.
We met our 3rd grade Book Buddies this week! Each child has partnered up with a 3rd grader from Ms. L’Heureux’s class. We will meet with our buddies once or twice a month to read with them and do various activities. Later in the year, my students will read to them!!
