Wednesday December 1

On Friday December 10th, both AM and PM kindergarten classes will attend school for the morning.  For this activity we are looking for 2-3 parent volunteers from each class to join us from 9:00-10:15am.  All volunteers must have a valid police screening on file with the school in order to be able to volunteer.  All volunteers must wear a mask while working in the school.  Please email your child's teacher if you are available to volunteer for this special activity by Friday December 3.  

Thank you to everyone who wore festive hats or had festive hairdos!  It was great to see so much Christmas spirit at EHS!  Next Wednesday is festive sweater/shirt day.  

We watched a story about Hanukka. We learned about what some families like to do during Hanukka. We wish any of our families who celebrate a Happy Hanukka.

Today at school it was writing Wednesday and we practiced writing a letter in our journal.  Please ask your child who they wrote their letter to.

We are very lucky to have a classroom elf visit us in December.  Our elf is a kindness elf and challenges us to make good choices at school.  We brainstormed names for our elf and then voted.  Please ask your child how we voted - we used something of ours to cast our vote.  The AM class named their elf Snowflake and the PM class named their elf Candy Cane.

We continued to learn about bats and how they hibernate.  We watched a super cool video of bats in a cave to watch as they hibernate.  We practiced how to hibernate like a bat.

We had gym with Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music.

AM kindergarten looked fantastic all dressed up for Halloween! We had a fun day at school.  Today we were Scientists and took a closer look at pumpkins. We watched a video from Sci Kids about pumpkin dissection and learned about all the parts of a pumpkin. We learned about estimation and had to estimate about the height of a pumpkin using cubes, the circumference of a pumpkin using string and estimated the number of ribs on the pumpkin. We then measured to see how accurate we were with our guesses. We worked in groups.  Our last job was to predict what would happen when we placed a pumpkin in water. Would it sink or float? We used tally marks to share our thinking. Ask your child what happened when we placed the pumpkin in water.  We read the story, "The Happy Pumpkin" and talked about jack o lanterns and the different faces. We made our own pumpkins using paper.  We had music with Mrs. Coulson.  Friday is PM kindergarten. PM kindergarten are invited to wear the...

Today we exchanged home reading. Your child took home 2 books to read this week. Please return them on Thursday. We are looking at poetry in our class. We read the story, "Hello Ocean" and had to think of one word to describe the ocean. We made a list and talked about using descriptive words to speak about the ocean. We used our 5 senses to help us describe the ocean and created a class poem. We will be focusing on creating ocean creature poems over the next few weeks in class.  We played bump in math. It is a game that focuses on counting on from the biggest number using dice.  AM Kindergarten and Mrs. Mask's PM class had music. Mr. Campbell's class had gym. We practiced rhyming words and wrote our own on whiteboards.  We had centers.  Friday is PM kindergarten.
