KB News 

Lead 21 –Literacy: Outdoor Explorers Unit theme “What can I learn when I explore the outdoors?”  This week we focused on the question, “What do I see in nature?”

Writing: This week the children learned how to reflect on  previous stories they had written and add more words to them.  We are working on “adding more” to our stories and pictures.

Math: “How Big Is A Foot?”   The children found out why it is important to have a standard unit of measure.  They traced and cut out their own foot-sized pattern on construction paper.  Then they measured different items in our classroom.  They soon discovered that not everyone had the same measurement for the same item.

Handwriting: We worked on writing the upper case letters X and Y.  The students have now completed their handwriting books and will continue to practice writing the letters of the alphabet.

Science: We started our quest to learn about penguins.

100^th Day of School Celebration:  We had a great time celebrating the 100^th day of school with the other kindergarten classes.  A big thank you to all of our parent volunteers that manned the various 100^th day activity stations.

Music:  The children did a great job singing at the K-1 music program Tuesday!  Thank you to all the friends and family members that were able to attend the program.
