We talk a lot in Kindergarten about the joy of giving to others. This time of year it's so easy for kids to get caught up in what they want for Christmas, we want them to be just as excited about what they can give to others. Hence, we are spending a bunch of time and effort on little handmade gifts for our families and friends, and perfecting our songs for the Christmas program next week. Our prayer is every child experiences the joy of giving to others and wants to keep up the habit!
In class this week we will keep practicing vowel sounds as we read and write. Students will prepare a narrative graphic organizer to organize their ideas for a writing assessment. We are jumping into reading and writing; it's a challenge for all, but a huge step in becoming independent readers and writers.
We will finish our chapter in math on comparing measurements. The class will take on extensions of comparing lengths and weights of common objects.
In science we will continue to study about how to take care of our planet Earth. Students will work hands on to clean up our school grounds and make beautiful recycled paper. We will connect evaporation to the paper project, using the water cycle to complete the process.
In art we will be taking a bird's eye view of a snowman. Student will also make and complete projects for their Bethlehem Buddies, 8th grade friends and parents. Whenever we the chance we make Christmas decorations for our classroom tree and the walls.
Throughout the week we will learn and play to Christmas music, practicing our program songs and enjoying traditional Christmas carols.
It will be a fun and full Christmasy week. I hope you are feeling the joy of the season in your home!
Mrs. Luoma
