We know our color words!

We did so many fun color activities this week.  A few examples are we made a class book, did color mixing and sang some exciting color songs.  The children wanted to sing the "red" song to you. 

Here Comes Letter of the Day!

We started our alphabet activities this week.  For each letter we read a poem, talk about how the letter is made, talk about the sound it makes, brainstorm words that begin with the letter and do two hands-on activities with the letter.  The children really like to read the letter poems and search for the letter of the day in the poem.

Getting to Know You

Today we read the story and sang the song "Who Took the Cookie From the Cookie Jar".  Each child got to hold a paper cookie and the class sang to him/her.  This is helping us learn the friends' names in class.  After we sang to each child, each child made a paper cookie.  On the back of the paper cookie are the words from the song.

Perfect day for fun day!

The children had a great time playing the games at fun day!  We had perfect weather to play the games.  The children were very tired after playing at all the stations.  They enjoyed popsicles at the end of the day.  Thank you to all the parents who came to watch and to help with fun day!

Grandparents are grand!

Grandparents Day was a huge success!  It is such a special day for the kindergartners to share a part of their school day with their grandparents.  The children worked very hard learning songs, reciting poems, made a special picture and illustrated a book.  All the children did a wonderful job singing and reciting the poems.  It was fun to watch the children show off the classroom to their grandparents.  Thank you to my photographers and cookie helpers!

PM Class Shows Support for our Classmate

Last Wednesday, the PM class wore shirts to support our classmate with Cystic Fibrosis.  It was an amazing sight to see!  As we were walking in the hall or out on the playground, we got lots of looks and questions from people at school.  There was a benefit that evening to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  It was wonderful to see so many Concord families!  It was a fun day and night for all!  To learn about what you can do to help, visit http://www.lukeshope.com/.

Fairy Tale Fun

The children listened to many fairy tales this week.  These are just a few of the ones we read.  The children learned fairy tales are make-believe stories.  We identified the characters, problem and solution in each story.  The children just loved these stories!
