Two Weeks Till Spring Break!

With just two weeks away till Spring Break, Kindergarten will be busy, busy.  The end of third quarter is just around the corner, so we will finish testing for report cards this week.  Mr. Illusion is coming tomorrow for an assembly to commence  the end of our Reading Program.  Of course, we will have to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on Friday the 16th.  In addition to all that, we will continue to work on short e words, addition, subtraction, money, tally marks, maps and symbols, sight words and writing. You have probably noticed more writing coming home in their folders.  We are working on dictation, however I am also encouraging them to start writing their own ideas.  This is difficult, however I have already seen a lot of great writing and am very encouraged that we will have many great writers.  Kindergarten is nearing the end and we are working hard at getting ready for first grade.  You should be very proud of their progress, as I am.  They have come along way and have worked very hard to get there.

Happy President's Day!!

Today, we celebrated President's Day and  not only learned about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln but American symbols as well.  We did not quite get through all of our books and activities and will probably have to continue tomorrow. We read several books on Abe Lincoln and George Washington.  We were able to look up pictures on-line of Abraham Lincoln's dog Fido, the Lincoln Memorial, George Washington's home, Mt. Vernon,  Abe's home in Springfield and Ford's Theater. We saw pictures of Washington's false teeth and the one student wanted to see John Wilkes Booth, the "mean guy" who killed Abraham.  Several students thought it would be fun to take a field trip to see all these places. Hmmmm....I am not  totally convinced on that idea.  Thanks to Mrs. Sandbothe, Kindergarten teacher at Pence, we had a fabulous lesson on the Statue of Liberty! Here are a few pictures showing our own Mr. and Miss Liberty's.
