No school tomorrow!! I will be attending our festival this weekend and hope to see you all there! Our open house will be from 5-7 on Friday.  The children are all excited to show off their room, work, and art projects!

Next week we will be learning all about apples.  We will read many apple books and even make apple butter.  Johnny Appleseed is a favorite among Kindergarteners, so look for your child to tell you all about Johnny Appleseed:)

The students have been doing well in reading and now know 9 sight words! They will be readers in no time! We enjoy each one of them! Have a great weekend!

This week has been so busy with our scarecrow unit! The kids loved it, and we did a lot of work! We made scarecrow books, counted syllables, wrote CVC words, and much, much more!  Here are some pictures of the things we did. Enjoy!

Carter and Logan counting syllables.


Here the children are putting black beans on the scarecrow for each syllable they hear in a word.  The black beans are "crows" on their scarecrow.

This is our science lesson on living and non living things.  After we completed this lesson together, it was reinforced during center time! I loved this!
