Kindergarten: A Year in Review

What an amazing group of kids…or as we call them in Kindergarten, "Show Biz Kids".  They performed their program called "Kindergarten: A Year in Review" just beautifully on Thursday for the entire school and Friday for our families and friends.  Weren't they just great?  Thank you all so much for coming and supporting us.  

Here are a few more photos of our STARS…

…and of course we took one with our silly faces!

   

   

   

   

If you were not able to attend, we will post the video of our school show either on the Northview webpage or this webpage early next week.  I will keep you posted!  Thanks again for your support!

Love These Kids!

It has been such a busy time in Kindergarten.  We continue to wait for the arrival of our baby chicks, hopefully early next week.  We are also busy preparing and rehearsing for our first ever Kindergarten program at Northview.  These kids are working so hard and are so excited for their performances!

Sometimes, when we are done practicing, we just have to dance!

   

   

We are also busy preparing for our field day in Physical Education with Mr. Nelson.  We really love going to P.E. with him!

 

Did I mention we have more visitors in our classroom?  Our goldfish, guppies and pond snails arrived today.  Never a dull moment in Kindergarten!

Visitors from Head Start!

On Thursday May 7, we had the pleasure of hosting 4 and 5 year old students from the Head Start program in our classroom.  These students will be attending Kindergarten next year and they came to visit us to see what it is like in a Kindergarten classroom.  They came for Morning Meeting, Interactive Read Aloud, and Number Corner.  In addition, we completed a coloring sheet and a Math activity with them.  We sure hope they enjoy Kindergarten as much as we do!

   

   

   

We showed the Head Start students how we "Gather Area" and "Gather Perimeter" on the rug!

   

Frog Story Problems

Pretty proud of these Kindergarten mathematicians!  They planned, wrote and illustrated some amazing frog story problems.  They shared their story problems and even talked about what they learned during the process.

   

   

   

Love how hard they worked on this project.  Great job, Kindergartners!

New Arrival

By far, the most exciting part of this past week was the arrival of our eggs.  On Wednesday, we placed 8 eggs in our classroom incubator.  If all goes well, we should be hatching live chicks on or around May 20.  We need to keep the temperature set at 100 degrees, with the humidity level between 45 and 55%.  On May 17, we will take the eggs out of the egg turner and place them on the floor of the incubator.  In the mean time, we will be doing lots of research and learning so much about baby chicks and chickens.  Stay tuned!

   

   

We continue to learn more about H.A. and Margret Rey and their beloved character Curious George.  We have started a community writing project, which is a Curious George story.  It takes place at Northview and is going to be lots of fun to complete.

   

One of the highlights of our Managed Independent Learning time is Conferencing with the Teacher.  During this time, we get to do our Guided Reading.  We are really doing a great job and are learning how to read.  So exciting!

   

   

   

Another fun week in Kindergarten!
