KINDERGARTEN ROCKS!



Week of: October 25, 2021

Last week, we had another fun week of school!
We had a blast at White Post Animal Farm on Thursday as we feed the animals, enjoyed a hayride, picked pumpkins, had an outdoor lunch, and played on the playgrounds. Thank you, chaperones, for all your assistance. It was greatly appreciated!
And, on Friday, the children were off from school as the teachers worked together at a professional development day at St. Aidanś in Williston Park.

During religion, we learned about David and Goliath. Goliath was a big, strong man who was intimidating. David chose to fight him and was brave because he believed in God. We also colored praying hands and learned that we use those praying hands when we want to talk to God.

During reading, we continued in our Unit 1 reader. This weekś theme was how do baby animals move. We talked about all the different movements that animals move. It was fun and insightful.

During math, we continued in Chapter 2 - Numbers to 10. The children problem solved, compared numbers, and completed an assessment.

During science, we focused on spiders. We watched videos, read books, and completed projects. Did you know that spiders are arachnids, not insects?

Because we were off on Friday, Ms. Boss did not perform another Spanish lesson this week. Previously, she taught them the color yellow (amarillo), orange (anaranjado), and red (rojo).They sang songs, colored crayons, and parts of a rainbow.
Ms. Boss has been wonderful and the children have been engaged and receptive. Thanks, Ms. Boss!

The children had fun learning, growing, playing, and praying together! 

It was a busy, fun, short week!
