We're so Fancy!

We achieved our goal of respectful listening on the rug and had a ton a fun with Fancy Day! Below you can see us dancing it out to the Kids Bop version of the pop song "Fancy" and enjoying a quiet lunch in the classroom that we "fancied" up with some table treatments and dinner jazz!

Before Friday came around there were some other memorable events- stuffing valentine cards, making friendship salad and then reveling in all the adorable paper cards that had been carefully made for each one of us.  Have a look...

And we can't forget that on top of it all, this past week was I LOVE TO READ AND WRITE WEEK which our class has been honoring for the month with our sharing theme of "books we love". Here is a picture of one of our classmates sharing her pick, Rad Girls A-Z  which actually features some SBHS alums!

To top it all off we've been preparing for Random Acts of Kindness Day (2/17 but we're gearing up for 2/18) and after watching an inspiring video about spreading kindness we teamed up with a first grade class to sew some felt hearts that will serve as reminders to do a RAK,  Have a look...

The February "blahs" don't apply to us!

In a recent conversation with I friend I explained that while we may still be in the dark and cold time of year, February is full of fun for Kindergarteners!  Besides the wacky holidays like Groundhog Day and the 100th Day of School, what really makes all the celebrating rewarding is how capable the children have become.  Below you can see us engaged in some new routines like group work at tables-
"how many little words can we make out of the letters in GROUNDHOG?" and reading at level books independently, with partners and with a teacher.  Lastly- in preparation for President's Day, you can see us busy with coin observations and coin rubbings- learning from one another by listening and looking.

Hooray for the 100th Day!

Have a look at the festivities from Thursday...
* 100 piece necklaces!  
* a K/1 Dance Party with 100th Day headbands! 
* a mural of 100 things we LOVE about Kindergarten!
* 100 piece pattern block designs! 

-A great time was had by all-
