The snow on the mountains is reminding us that colder days are ahead and it’s time to pull out those cozy, warm clothes!
This week, we kicked off a few new learning adventures! In Science, we began our study of Organisms, using our observation skills to explore patterns in what plants and animals need to survive. This connects beautifully with our new literacy unit, Zoology. Each lesson is built around a key life science concept and weaves together language arts and science standards. Kindergartners love learning about animals and can’t get enough of the fascinating facts they’re discovering!
In Math, we began Unit 3: 2-D Geometry. We’re developing ideas about the attributes of two-dimensional shapes—naming them, noticing their features, and exploring how we can compose and decompose them into new shapes.
We had several special guests visit this week! It began with people from the Community Bank who came to help us take part in the Blankets for Hope project. Students wrote notes and wrapped a blanket with ribbon to be given to people in need. It was a beautiful project to be involved with.
The MMU Choir stopped by to share their beautiful voices in a joyful array of songs at our all school meeting. Many students after said that they can't wait to become singers in high school! Later that day, Ms. Neeson led an extraordinary lesson inspired by Eric Carle, showing us how he creates his colorful illustrations. Each student created their own animal using his process and learned how to create community art for all to enjoy and repurpose. Thank you, Ms. Neeson!
