The Mitten
by Jan Brett
We did a reader's theater with our story and focused on story elements. Then we found things that were longer and shorter than a mitten and worked together to measure each others with mittens. 

Turkey Fun

Learning with Candy Corn 
We used the candy corn to talk about the Trinity. There are three colors in the candy corn just like there are three Gods in One. Then we graphed three types of candy corn. 

Pumpkin Explorations

We learned the life cycle of a pumpkin, estimated and counted the numbers of seeds in different types of pumpkins, learned that all pumpkins float, measured pumpkins with unifix cubes and string, and tasted sugar pumpkins. 

Apple Week!

We learned about Johnny Appleseed, the life cycle of an apple, measured how many apples tall we were, tasted apples and made apple sauce!

First Day of Kindergarten:
The Kissing Hand

MLK Prayer Service

The Kindergartners learned about Martin Luther King Jr. and led the school in a Prayer Service where they shared their own Dreams for the World. 

Christmas Around
the World

Peppermint the elf visited us during December and was very silly! We learned about Christmas in other parts of the world (Australia, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, The Netherlands, France, Ireland, England, and learned about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa), learned about and was visited by St. Nick, celebrated St. Lucia Day, read and compared different versions of the Gingerbread Man, did a kindergarten gingerbread with a kindergarten class in Texas, did a fantastic job singing at the Christmas Program, and made gingerbread houses. What a fun and busy month!

Spookly the Square Pumpkin

Spookly was a square pumpkin who didn't like being different from all the other pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. One stormy night he learned that being different is a wonderful gift.

Spooner's Pumpkin Patch
It was a wet and rainy day but the kids had a great time picking out their pumpkin, riding a tractor, and meeting some fun farm animals. 

Fire Safety Week
We practiced stop, drop, and roll with a fire fighter, learned to crawl under smoke, and got to climb around a fire truck!

"Do small things with great love"
                               - Saint Mother Teresa

The Kindergartners love working together and using manipulatives to learn.
