It has been a while since I last posted. Here is a recap of what has been going on in our classroom:
Painted Pumpkins
Right before conferences, the kids had the opportunity to paint their own pumpkins. These were actually small gourds shaped liked pumpkins, but the kids had fun getting messy and creating their "masterpiece" as one student called it!
Fall Festival
On Monday, October 25th, our students participated in a Kindergarten Fall Festival. We had many fun activities that included face painting, sack races, Halloween story time, marshmallow ghosts, paper ghosts, pin the nose on the witch, and witch hands. We had tons of parent volunteers to help make the event a success. It was a memorable day for all of the kindergarteners.
Book It:
Pizza Hut has a reading incentive program called “Book It.” The idea for this program is that the teacher sets a monthly goal for each student in reading, and if the student reaches the monthly goal, s/he receives a coupon for a free personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut. Every student received a Book-It coupon on Monday for their effort in October. Enjoy your free pizzas!
Kindergarten T-Shirts:
The picture below is the final design for the t-shirts. The large design with the paint splash will be on the back of each shirt, and the small design on the bottom (white hand print with "Bernie Kindergarten Class of 2023") will be on the front "pocket" area. We should be getting those shirts sometime next week. If you ordered one, be looking for it in your child's backpack very soon! Don't forget to have your child wear his/her shirt on Bernie Blue days!
School Website:
Hopefully, pictures from October will be posted on my school website by the end of this week. The update will also include the October newsletter and second quarter skills to practice.
