February Was a Blur!!

February was such a busy blur despite all the snow days!  There have been so many exciting things happening in our classroom – Valentine’s Day, 100^th School Day, Music/Dance Informance and so much more Kindergarten fun!!!

The 100^th day of school was such a celebration in our classroom!  We made 100^th day Fruit Loop necklaces, crafted 100^th Day hats, drew a 100 year old version of ourselves; and, wrote about what we will be like when we are 100.   Their responses cracked me up!  Some said they would live in a big house, drive a motorcycle, tell jokes, wrestle sharks and one even said she would be feeding her pet fish! 

The kids also had their first Informance ever at Douglas!  They were so precious, and it was such a treat to see what they had been working on in music and dance.   Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for that celebration! 

Waiting for the Informance to Start!

Sing About Martin!

We have also been finishing up our weather unit in science.  We have learned about thermometers and how to properly read them, made rain gauges and have studied different types of clouds.  One of our classmates has even decided that he wants to be a meteorologist when he grows up! 

Reading Thermometers!

Observing the Clouds!

Making Rain Gauges!

In math, we have been working on solving addition and subtraction word problems.  The kids have done a fantastic job with this!  They have really enjoyed creating their own math stories and working collaboratively to solve each other's story problems.   

Please remember to practice your child’s sight words at home each night.  And, as always, READ, READ, READ!  Again, thank you for all you do to support your child at home! 

Educationally Yours, 

Ms. Bruner 

P.S. Let’s hope spring comes early!  Keeping my fingers crossed that the snow days are done!
