Monday, September 9

  A very sweet kindergartner brought me some beautiful mums today and we thought we would try a little experiment with them.  We put water and food coloring in some different cups and then put the white flowers in.  We made predictions about what we thought would happen.  These are some of our predictions:  The stem will turn blue. The one in red will turn the flower red. The one in plain water will grow.  

We will see what happens in the next few days!!

Sunday, September 7

We had a very busy week last week!  On Wednesday, we celebrated RED day.  We learned the red color song (which is a favorite every year), found red things around the room, and made a red ladybug.  We spent time learning about our classroom and talking about things like voice level and rug rules.  Ask your child about these!

On Thursday and Friday, we continued our celebration of color days.  We made two more projects for our color books.  We also made pictures of our names to hang in the classroom.  Our specials this week were gym, music, and art. Next week we will visit the computer lab, meet Mrs. Miller for guidance, and will check out our first library books of the year!

This week, we will be spending lots of time learning and practicing everyone's names.  I will be showing everyone how to write their name with only one capital letter at the beginning.  Please have your child practice writing his/her name this way at home!! 

We have had several donations of milk caps and box tops.  Thanks so much for your hep!

Thanks again to the families who sent snack for the class this week.  The snack schedule for the next three months was handed out at Open House (or was placed in your child's folder if you didn't attend).  I forgot to send the snack bags home, but I will do that this week for the snack days coming up!  Sorry, it has been a VERY busy week for everyone!

I am looking forward to a great week :)

We learned how to use the ipad minis this week!  These are a couple of pictures that the kids took:
We celebrated Sydney's birthday this week :)

Our First Day

Today was the FIRST day of kindergarten!!!  We learned a lot about the rules and routines, played on the playground, played in the classroom, went to gym class with Mrs. B, and colored a picture of something we do to be safe on the playground.  The day flew by and everyone was very tired when it was time to go home.  Tomorrow we start our Color Days.  Have your child wear red tomorrow (if she/he has it).  We will be learning the RED song and making a project for our color book.  We have lots of other fun activities planned for tomorrow, so get to bed early tonight and I will see you in the morning!!!

Here are a few pictures from the day:

Kindergarten 2013-2014

Hi everyone,
I'm glad you found our classroom blog! We had a great time at kindergarten camp last week and I can't wait to see you all again.  Don't forget to stop in to school this Thursday (August 29) between 4 and 6 p.m. to meet the teachers, see the classrooms, and drop off your school supplies.  The RCC will also be selling pizza and water in the gym.

Check back often to see what's happening in our classroom.  You can also enter your e-mail address into the feed burner to receive automatic e-mails of my blog posts.

See you soon!
Mrs. Skeels
