We have successfully completed two full weeks of school! 😊 I am THRILLED to see the kids become more confident in the day to day routines. I cannot believe next week is the last week of September! Fall is definitely in the air!

Literacy is huge in kindergarten! We are practicing identifying letters and sounds daily as well as writing words with a focus on the initial and ending sounds. I have spent a lot of time modeling reading strategies during free reading. I want the kids to understand that although they may not be able to read some of the books they are looking at, searching for clues in pictures and familiar words can help make meaningful connections. 

Hopefully you saw the butterfly life cycle that went home. All of the kids are officially experts at explaining the life cycle of a butterfly!

Recess buddies! ❤️

Time for Kindergarten!!

It may have one of the hottest starts to a school year but I could not be more proud of these kids! ❤️

Enjoy the pictures! 

The kids were exploring the pattern blocks as we discussed their different attributes. 

Hard working kids connecting unifix cubes from one end of the class to the other! I loved their teamwork!

We started writing this week! 












The highlight of the day was releasing a beautiful monarch butterfly!

Field Day Fun! 🎉🎉

We started this week off  with some great fun at field day! The kids were excellent and we all had a blast!

Go Team Fox!!    🦊

Snell’s! 🌸🌼🌻

It was a perfect day to visit the greenhouse. We lucked out with “just right” temperatures and a beautiful sunny day! The kids were excellent and learned and learned a few things too! I cannot wait to hear how well their lettuce is growing! 😉

Yesterday we took advantage of the sun and warmer temperatures by taking a spring walk. Together, we searched for signs of spring. I cannot describe how sweet these kids were when observing the “little things.”  Enjoy the pictures!

Can’t you tell how bright the sun was?!?! 😎

Pussy willows! The kids loved feeling the soft buds. 

Look! It’s a crocus! 

The robin is a sure sign of spring! 

We watched the robin for about 5 minutes. They were so cute whispering about what they saw!
