3D shapes

Soccer is done this week! AM parents, we will be dismissing at the regular Friday doors (red gym door) tomorrow.

Dear Mom and Dad:

We had our last day of soccer residency today. What a great program! I have learned a lot this week about coordination, dribbling, focus and team work.

AM class: we worked with our guest teachers today. Ask me to tell you what kind of drawing I did in my visual journals.

PM class: Ask me to tell you about 3D shapes! I can tell you what a sphere, cylinder, cube, cone and a pyramid is. Ask me to find things around the house the represent these shapes. We worked on our Barbra Reid art. I can’t wait to show it to you at our Celebration of learning on Thursday June 23. Please mark it in your calendars!

Question of the day for AM and PM: post on the blog some 3D shapes that you saw and tell us what they are. For example: pop can = cylinder.

Love,

Kindergarten

W and Y

PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILDREN IN RUNNERS AS THEIR OUTDOOR SHOES. No flip flops, crocs, dress shoes.

Since our gym time is at the end of the day, we will be dismissing at the soccer field all week. Please meet your child at the field.

Dear Mom and Dad:

Please ask me these questions:

What does the Y say?

What does the W say?

We drew a picture of a Yak and then the AM drew a Walrus and the PM drew a Whale.

The PM class had dance today with Mrs. Jangle instead of soccer because it started to rain during our soccer time.

Barbra Reid

Dear Mom and Dad of PM kindergarten:

Ask me to tell you who Barbra Reid is! We read her story “Picture a Tree” and noticed her amazing art work. We learned that she uses something called plasticine to create her art. 

Today we explored this material with many different tools. Ask me to tell you all the different things I tried to make! This will help us when we do our art project next week. 

We will be e-mailing Barbra Reid throughout our inquiry of her books, please post on the blog. 

Question of the day: What wonders do you have for Barbra Reid?

Have a great weekend! 

Love,

Kindergarten



Housekeeping:

Soccer starts on Monday! Please have your child dressed appropriately for this activity. It may be indoor and outdoor as well.
