Patterns



We've been busy in math learning about patterns. The pictures are of Oce and Calvin, coming up with their own patterns. The class also enjoy movement patterns throughout the day because they get up and move around. Some examples include frog jumps, hops, claps, spins, jumping jacks, criss-crosses, and stomps. If you've been sitting for awhile maybe it's time for a little break, go ahead and come up with your own pattern.

Back to School

We've had an AMAZING first two weeks of school in Room 108. This is a great group of kids who are full of energy and eager to learn. It's so refreshing to work with your children, thank you for sharing them with me. In just the first 9 days of school your child has already started to learn and master the routines and expectations of Kindergarten. Throughout the next couple of weeks we'll continue to work on making new friends, learn about apples, explore numbers through 10, learn new letters and a few sight words.

New friends working together to sort teddy bears by a size and color.

There's always time to be a little bit silly.
