News from Kindergarten
This month we celebrated the 100th day of school! The Kindergarten has been  waiting for this day since the very first day of school. To commemorate the 100th day of school students throughout the day participated in many activities based around the number 100. The students challenged themselves to see if they could build a structure using 100 cups. Later in the 100th day celebration students made pictures using 100 objects.
The Kindergarten class enjoys interacting with the older students in the Taylor School. One of our most memorable experiences this past month was working with the 1/2 class on a cooperative art project. The students were given the opportunity to explore their artistic side while working side by side with the 1/2 class in creating murals. The murals are hanging in both the classrooms and the students enjoy pointing out their contribution to the “masterpieces!”
 After a visit from author Jim Bruchac, the Kindergarten room is full of aspiring authors, writers and storytellers. Mr. Bruchac’s visit this month has creative juices flowing in our classroom. Students are eager to record their stories in their writing journal and just as excited to share these stories!
In the upcoming month the Kindergarten class is looking forward to celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday and participating in many activities related to the extraordinary author.
Each day it is a joy to watch each student learn and discover within the classroom setting. Thank you for sharing your joyful learners with me! I look forward to seeing all of you at your parent teacher conferences.
