Welcome back

Welcome back from spring break! 
We hope you all  had a restful, enjoyable week. It's so great to see all the kids back and hear about all of their fun adventures. 

Morning Activities....
Puzzle, completed.


Making pictures with pattern blocks. 



Morning Meeting.....
We have come so far since the first day of Kindergarten. We can read the chart by ourselves. We can even read a word that is pointed out on the chart. They can read words at random! Very impressive. 

What comes after? Beth says a number and the kids have to know what comes next. 

Math....
Grab, Guess and Count! Our latest and greatest of games...
Grab a large handful of cubes out of the box. Take a minute to look at your hand and estimate with your best guess how many you think you have, write it down. Then use the ten's frames board to help keep track of your cubes as you count them out to figure out how close you were to your guess. 

We are learning "more than" and "less than"! (I'm pretty sure I didn't learn this until I was in 3rd grade!) 

Book Corner....
Chicken of the Family by Mary Amato.  "Henrietta's two older sisters love to tease her. When they try to convince her that she's actually a chicken instead of a little girl, it's pretty hard to believe at first. But the evidence is all there: her legs are kind of yellow, and her toes are kind of long."


How to Ride a Giraffe by Alice Cary.  A funny book about a little girl who shares her story about what you need to ride a giraffe.  We use this book to introduce our "How To" writing books that we will be working on over the next few weeks. 

Sometimes reading with a buddy is so much fun....
 ...and we take turns!
Ethan and Jared reading to each other.



Language Arts.....
We have been learning about the digraphs. Today we learned about the "ch" digraph. 
We continue to rotate groups for our "Fit Time" so we are in smaller groups. We are reading our beginner books.



Oh warm weather we missed you......
Every church should look like this one.

A happy world is made!


Happy to be outside and feel the warm spring sun! Here's a few snap shots.













Health Class.....
 We wrapped up our time with Genieve today. She read us the book In Our Hearts.
Then we drew a picture of how we felt in our hearts. 

Griffin "my heart feels funny."
Hunter "My heart feels excited because I'm going to the toy store after school."
Sydney "My heart always feels happy."
Kora "My heart feels happy."

Evelyn "I feel calm."
Davern "I feel happy and calm."



Imagination Pattern blocks, creating fun!
