Monday Fun

Some upcoming things to think about:
  • Please return the bottom portion of the cookie social letter even if you are not coming.
  • Mrs. Cota is set to return next week on Wednesday, December 3.
  • As we get into the spirit of giving this month, we are looking for donations of a non-perishable food item for the food pantry this month as our Kindergarten community service project.  Thank you for giving in this time of need for many families!  Last day to donate: Friday, Dec. 12th.  
It is hard to believe how fast time has gone.  Another week and this one is short here.

In math today we talked about how important the number zero is.  It helps us make larger numbers.  We also worked on putting together the number with the word.  For example, we put together 1 with the word one.

In reading we read the book Fredrick.  Fredrick is a mouse who instead of collecting food for the winter, collects sun beams and words.  Unlike many of the other books I have read, Fredrick ends with knowing words and feelings are also important.

We also talked about what we are thankful for.  I asked each child what they were thankful for and then created a Wordle with what they said.  If you are unfamiliar with a Wordle, it is a work of art where the bigger the word, the more times it is used.  Below is the Wordle that the kids made:

What K02 is Thankful for

I know I am thankful for all the joy these kids bring to me every day.  Enjoy your night!
