Our first week back was great. We spent some quality time talking about how we wanted to be treated by others, how we thought the teacher would want to be treated and how we would want to be treated during conflict. After many discussions, we came to a consensus and created a new social contract for the 2019. We all signed the contract and it will be posted in our classroom for the rest of the year. This is a promise to be the best we can be and it is very much like being in a family where everyone is responsible for taking care of each other. William surprised the class by sharing his penguin character and story which we really enjoyed because we have been busy researching about penguins this week. Our counselor, Mrs. Hougham also came in to teach us about using kind words with our friends because words that are not kind can hurt others. It was a very good first week back and it was exciting to see our FRIENDS!
Mrs. Owen came to teach us how to use our i-pads to do some coding. After that, we enjoyed programming Sphero balls to travel around the classroom.The kids were very engaged with both activities.Mrs. Owen was doing some "trouble shooting" for us.December was a wonderful time to celebrate traditions with our families and we enjoyed our holiday party too.We love to have visitors to kindergarten!The chart above is what the children told me they wanted for "the first gift of Christmas" on Polar Express day.Building with our friends is always an adventure!We are so thankful for all of the donations for our classroom party and also for our wonderful room mother, Gretchen Tooke.Another German lesson-a special German story book!I am looking forward to seeing my cardinals in the morning. It is always exciting to begin a new year, full of hopes and dreams and a lot of new learning. |
