Happy New Year! 🎉🎆

We have had a couple of busy weeks in room 60! It is hard to believe that we are approaching the halfway mark in kindergarten. WOW! I love to reflect with the kids on the progress they have made thus far. They make me so proud!

Last week we were lucky to have done some fun crafts to liven up our bulletin boards. On Wednesday, Eli’s mother designed a beautiful winter bulletin board titled, “Reach for the Sky in 2018.”  The children cut out their outlined arm and hand and decorated the cutout. The board looks amazing!

On Wednesday, Mrs. Hauke brightened up our classroom with an amazing 3 D snowman. The kids made the sweet little birds! 

We ended the week with a wonderful conversation about Martin Luther King Jr.. I was truly amazed at the thoughtful insight these young minds shared. Teaching compassion and tolerance is something I feel so strongly about. 

Please ask your child about the conversation we had about the eggs. The pictures will make more sense to you once you chat with them!

PJ Day = The Best Day Ever!

It is hard to believe that the year is coming to a close. I told the class today that we are having our last “weekend share” of 2017! These kiddos have come so far and I look forward to what is to come. Enjoy the pictures below. 

We were lucky to have a tour of our cafeteria’s kitchen. It was fun to go behind the scenes!! 

The kids braved the cold of the freezer!





The biggest treat at the end was getting a little snack and drink!


We are a very festive class! 🎄

It’s been a while...

I apologize for the LONG delay in posting! Fall had me fighting just about every virus around! 

I have some great pictures of recent activities in room 60!

The kids have been sharing their writing with their “writing partner”. They have learned to be good listeners as well as offering positive comments! 

Here are some pictures of awesome teamwork! ❤️

Last week we made whacky reindeer with Mrs. Hauke!










In math we talked about the importance of understanding directional words. I had the kids do a fun obstacle course in class. Later they created their own obstacle courses!









 Introducing Lips the Fish!! Ask your child about her!

Fire Station Field Trip! 🚒

It was a great trip to the fire station today! The kids were excellent and they just loved the adventure!

Firefighter Dale always does an amazing job teaching the students about fire safety. 

Gunner’s grandfather is the Fire Chief in Gorham!

Last week we took advantage of the beautiful foliage and had some fun with leaves. 🍁

Mrs. Moon brought in different types of leaves for the kids to examine. 

Last week we talk about "attributes" in math.  We discussed the term and what similar and different attributes look like.  I gave the kids a bowl of several different objects and asked them to sort them by similar attributes.  They all impressed me with their thinking and ability to work together in small groups.  **Bonus** They all looked extra sharp in these pictures because it was Picture Day!  ;)
