A Week in Review: November 28th

What an exciting week we had in Kindergarten this week.  We "traveled" to Russia, went on a field trip to the Outdoor Center, and shopped at the Holiday Shop!

Outdoor Education Center

Kindergarten Ninjas!  Sneaking up to get a good look at the birds!

On Thursday, we visited the Outdoor Education Center, an extension of our school district.  While there, we learned about how birds prepare for winter, how leaves grow, how animals build a shelter, and used our 5 senses to explore objects found in nature.  Your child made a bird feeder out of popcorn and a pine cone.  The best news is, the pine cone can be refilled all winter long for our Michigan birds.

 Holidays Around the World

 

For social studies, we are traveling around the world and visiting various countries.  This week Mr. Kern - a pilot for American Airlines, came to talk to us about flying in an airplane.  The kids got their "passports" stamped and learned about some ways that Russian culture is similar and different from ours.  This coming week we will be visiting Israel and Holland.

Jewel Party

The kids earned another "Jewel" Party.  This time they chose to have Zeth visit us for the whole day!  Lots of smiles were had while Zeth visited us.

 

 Holiday Party

Our Holiday Party will be on Thursday, December 22nd from 12-1:30pm.  Please let me know if you can help.  We will be having a pizza lunch, doing a craft, and playing a game.
