Holidays Around the World

Today we started our study of different holidays and traditions. We learned about how families celebrate Diwali. We discussed what they wear, how they decorate their homes and the foods they eat. Ask your child to tell you more about the "Festival of Lights".

Monday Catch-up

I hope you haven't thought "no blog posts=nothing fun is going on in K1"! Quite the opposite! We have been doing lots of fun things...

Today (and last week) in math we have been disusing measurement. Today we measured our shoes and tomorrow we'll get to measure our friends and compare.

During our "Daily 5" time we have been building up our "read to buddy" stamina, learning to take turns and discuss the books when we're done reading.

In Science we are continuing our study of fabric. Today we learned how to weave! You might be seeing these very soon...under a Christmas tree near you :)



Giving Thanks

Thank you all so much for donating food and helping set-up and clean up the feast today! Not only am I thankful for K1, I'm thankful for their wonderful parents. Happy Turkey Day!

Lost?

FOUND! Chances are if you child has lost something it is in the lost and found (located to the left of the cafeteria)...and in this video. Enjoy!

Veteran's Day 2011

This morning we honored our Veterans by having an assembly in our gym. It was one of the best ceremonies our school has ever had to honor our men and women in the armed forces.

Yesterday we read this wonderful book and watched some clips to help explain "What is a Veteran?" and "How should we celebrate Veteran's Day?".  After we read, we decided it would be a good idea to write cards to veterans, thanking them for all they've done for us. They thought of the sweetest, kindest things to put in their cards. You should be so proud of your little citizen.
