Hi all! It's been so nice to get settled back into the routine of school (with no snow days interrupting!) and it's been a fun few weeks! Since a picture is so much better at showing you what we're doing, I'll start with those!
Making Patterns
Number Sense Understanding, and Number Order
Working with Ten Frames helps students to quantify the meaning of each number, and
puzzles are a fun way to remember the sequence of numbers!
Using our Building Skills to Make Strong and Stable Vehicles

| The tailgate swings down! |
 |
| They piled blocks on top to show how strong it was! |
Students chose Wildly Important Goals (WIGS) this week - something
important they want to learn!
 |
| JO decided he wanted to read book bags! Parents, ask your student about their WIGS - you can also see them at PT conferences this week! |
Our new math journals are a great way to put our skills into practice!
Kindergartens use strategies like drawing pictures and using manipulatives to solve problems - in this case, how many mittens are on three students altogether!
We learned the names of 3D shapes (ones that "pop out" at us), and built with them!
Birds, Birds, Birds!
Thank you all for sending in supplies for our project!
To begin, students made a plan for what they would need and what their birdhouse would look like!
Next, they cut doors and windows, and used tape and primer to make it weatherproof.
Finally, they painted them, and came to Miss K to hot glue popsicle sticks on for roofs, and buttons on for decorations!
Then, we went outside, hung them up, and enjoy seeing what we were able to build for God's beautiful animals. We also made a book with some of the things we've learned!

We took time to reflect afterwards about what was challenging, what we were great at, and how it help to be God's earth-keepers! Students have added in thanks for the birds to our prayer
We also tried a new art project, our hardest one yet! We have talked about doing beautiful work, slowing down and doing it right, to our best! Kindergarten very much enjoyed this multi-step piece, and would cheer for every new bird that a student stenciled onto their art! If you're in the school for drop off/pick up/any other reason, I invite you to come in and look with your child!

Have a wonderful weekend!
