Special Visitors: Jan. 30-Feb. 2 2012




We've had a lot of special visitors in our classroom in the past 2 weeks! First, Author Michelle Diaz Cannon came to our classroom last week to read her book Ben Not A Puppy! The children enjoyed the sweet story and Mrs. Cannon was very impressed with how the children were engaged and asked great questions. Everyone got a coloring page and a sticker!

This week we had some visitors near and dear to our hearts - our Grandparents! When they arrived we headed off to the gym for our hot dog lunch. Afterwards we went to recess. When we came back into the classroom, we made hand print flowers! And then up to the library for some shopping at the Book Fair. I think the Grandparents had as much fun as the kids!

This week in Language Arts the theme was mittens. We started by reading The Mitten by Jan Brett. Our center activities included cutting and pasting and writing the names of the animals that squeezed into the mitten, The Mitten puzzle, Winter Sight Words, and some extra activities such as Color Mitten Match, Alphabet Mitten Match, and Mitten ABC's.

Math this week consisted of 2 More and 2 Fewer. We will finish up Topic 5 with our Topic Test next week and then onto Topic 6 - Addition!

We've been practicing and preparing for our Kindergarten Family Mass on Sunday, February 5th. We hope to see all families there. Don't forget to stop by the classroom for Open House after Mass. Hope you enjoyed the lovely weather on your day off.

Next Week: 100 Day Celebration on Tuesday, February 7th!
