The Mitten

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow this morning!  The kids were very disappointed when they looked out the window after music and it had all melted!  Many of them had planned to build a snowman after school today! :)

Today we read one of my favorite books, The Mitten, by Jan Brett.
"A butterfly crawled into the mitten."

"A pig crawled into the mitten."

"A bird crawled into the mitten."

"A cat crawled into the mitten."

"A snake crawled into the mitten."

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Polar Express Day

We loved wearing our pajamas to school today for Polar Express Day!   

We were so excited to get Polar Express tickets to "board the train." Mrs. Lutrick our conductor, punched them for us this morning.

We also received a special gift from Santa...only those who believe hear the bell. 

The 6th grade orchestra performed a few holiday songs for us.  Looking forward to our Winter party tomorrow. 

Reindeer Day

Today was a very exciting day in Kindergarten. We celebrated "Reindeer Day." First we watched an online read aloud of the story Imogene's Antlers,  and then we made our very own antlers. We also wrote about what we would do if we had real antlers of our own.  

Tomorrow is Polar Express Day!  Don't forget to wear your pajamas! 

Grinch Day

We had so much fun on Grinch Day!  We described how the Grinch was at the beginning of the book and then how his heart grew at the end of the book.  We also made made our own Grinch, and wrote what we would do to make him grin!

Happy Grinch Day everyone!!

This week in kindergarten...

We are going to be super busy this week!  We have a lot of fun activities planned! 

Today was Gingerbread Day!  We read The Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Baby, and The Gingerbread Girl! 

Here is a picture of how we compared the three stories:

Thursday is Polar Express Day!   Students may wear their warmest pajamas!

Friday is our class party!
