Classroom News-February 15

We had quite a week in kindergarten.  On Monday we celebrated Valentine's Day.  I set up several activities for the children during our center time.  We decorated cookies, played Valentine Bingo, stacked candy hearts (which is not as easy as it sounds), and handed out Valentines.  Everyone had a great time!  Thank you to the volunteers who brought materials in for the party, and came in to help with the activities! 

Today we had centers.  We read, wrote in our journals, worked on Lexia/Core 5 on the ipads, and we worked on before and after numbers.  This afternoon we read Tacky and the Emperor by Helen Lester.  Tacky is a silly penguin!  After P.E., we watched videos about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  Afterwards, we created a Double Bubble Map that shows how we compared and contrasted the two presidents. 

We do not have school on Friday, Febuary 17 or on Monday, February 20.  I will see the children on Wednesday, February 22.  We will be at school ALL DAY on Friday, February 24. 

Here are a few pictures from our Valentine Party and our Double Bubble Map from today.  Enjoy the week off!
