Wearing Green on Friday

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

Over the past five days I have spent countless hours reflecting on how amazing our school community is. I have (as you have as well) encountered a variety of emotions. However, the emotion that has risen above all else is pride. I am proud of  our school community and the support that has been demonstrated over and over again for our staff, our school and our families. As you are aware, Friday would be Devin's birthday and schools and communities are "lighting up green" across the commonwealth to remember Devin and all the light he brought into our lives.  While we realize that each of us are in different places in our journey, we encourage you to wear green while respecting the fact that each of us will carry his light in our own way. Please know that we respect each of our families and encourage you to make the decision that works best for you and your children. Thank you for your continued support!

 

Best,

 

Amy Bright

Fall Fun and More!

Happy Wednesday!  We are learning about the changing seasons and students created detailed fall trees with crayons and watercolor paints.  Each tree was made with careful paint strokes, taps, and dabs.  Students practiced using watercolors without mixing the colors together.  Take a look at our beautiful pictures!

During math, students practiced printing numerals 1-5 starting all numbers at the top!  Our number book was fall themed and we colored that apples when we were finished printing numbers.

Columbus Day

Happy Friday!

This week, we studied Christopher Columbus and why we will celebrate him on Monday.  Students listened to a story on Book flix, a Scholastic website, that explained Christopher Columbus' journey from Spain to America. 

During Literacy Centers, students learned how to complete color by number activities. We completed 1 Columbus Day color by number and have another one for homework!

Each student got their own Columbus Day book to read as a group and color.  The books explain who Christopher Columbus is and the adventures he went on.  Kindergarteners can try to read this book to you this weekend!

Our last Literacy Center focused on learning about letter "o."  Kindergarteners traced the letter, colored the picture, generated words that begin with /o/ and even practiced beautiful handwriting on the back.  We worked so hard!
