Exploring with Christopher Columbus

This week we learned about Christopher Columbus, reviewed the compass rose and the seven continents. Kinders worked together this afternoon, (Wednesday) to compete for points in a healthy game of Kindergarten Jeopardy. We have a great group of kinders who listened really well about Columbus this week!

In math, we are patterning like crazy. I bet your kinder can show you a difficult pattern...more than just an ABABABAB pattern. These kinders are amazing!

We will not have literacy groups next Thursday as Mrs. Irving, our librarian, has scheduled our class to visit with an author. If you are scheduled for Oct. 22nd, please enjoy that time to yourself! :)

Calling for a volunteer! Is that you? The yearbook coordinator for Zach is in need of a volunteer from our classroom to put our class page together. I have been told that this would be a fairly easy job, so if you're interested in helping, please let me know and I will pass on the contact information to you. Thanks!

Alison Biggs and Terese Shanley are coordinating the Halloween Party which will happen on Friday, October 30th from 12-1. All parents and younger siblings are invited with the understanding that crafts, treats, etc. will only be planned for the number of students in our class.

Have a super 4-day weekend with your kinder!
