KINDERGARTEN GOES FOR THE GOLD!!!

This week we celebrated the end of the 2018 Winter Olympics by having our own Olympic games in the Eagles Nest. What fun we had!! The word for the day was "competition." We learned about the Olympic games and even earned our own gold medals. We concluded by having an Olympic "torch" snack. See all the fun in the pictures below:

KINDERGARTEN LEFT "HEARTPRINTS" BEHIND

On Valentine's Day, we passed out our valentines to our friends and had a special valentine snack and then we visited the Waterford Assisted Living Home in Smyrna. We sang songs and gave them valentines that we had made. The students did a great job! What a blessing for both the kids and the residents! We definitely left "heartprints" behind!

On Friday, we concluded our study of how to take care of our heart, by doing an experiment, playing a game, and listening to each others heart with a stethoscope.We learned that our heart is a muscle in our chest, what is good and bad for our heart, and how it sounds. God made our bodies and our heart and it is amazing!!! See our pictures below.

REMINDER: NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY DUE TO PRESIDENT'S DAY

Next week, students may wear blue jeans and Ezell t-shirts. This is a reward for meeting our goal on the can drive that we had.

We will continue to work on the following skills:

• reading and comprehension
• rhyming
• long vowel sounds
• handwriting
• addition
• telling time to the hour
• tens and ones
• recognizing and writing 1-30
• counting to 75
• counting by 5's

We hope that all of you have a wonderful week-end!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR IN KINDERGARTEN

We had a special visit from the tooth fairy on Friday to end our unit on Dental Health. She taught us how to brush our teeth correctly and why it is so important to care for our teeth. She brought a chimpanzee puppet with her. Ask your child to tell you what the puppet did to them! There are some pictures below of our classes with the tooth fairy.

This next week, on Wednesday, we will be showing love to the residents of Waterford Assisted Living Home in Smyrna. We will be singing some songs for them and passing out valentine cards and hugs. This is one of our favorite field trips because the children just sing their little hearts out and the residents just love it! Each child will need to wear their red field trip t-shirt and bring their lunch on Wednesday. We will eat when we return to school. We will then pass out our Valentines and have a special valentine snack.

Please send in your valentine box covered in red paper, on Monday, so that we can get them decorated at school.

It is time to re-enroll your child for 1st grade next year! You will want to do this early in order to save money and to reserve a spot.
