Library Day

This week our Discovery Bins include items such as.... play doh, pipe cleaners, pony beads, and lots of imagination!  When we put the beads onto the pipe cleaner, we are strengthening the little muscles in our fingers - which we need to use for writing! Some kids made patterns, some kids made designs, some built towers, and everyone had fun with their play doh!

Today was our first "Library Day". Unfortunately the library is still closed to students; but fortunately, Mr. Wesselius (Librarian) brought some books to our room! Mr. Wesselius also had a special library bag for each of us (made specially for each Kinder kid by his mom!). Each student got to choose a book from a selection of library books  to take home and borrow for a few days. Our library day is Day 6. Please have your child return his/her library book - in the bag- on or before the next Day 6.
 
Check out our new book bags!
In outdoor music class today, one of the activities was dancing to the Kinder-polka!

I love when I get emails/notes from parents that tell me about what their children are sharing at home in regards to what they are learning at school!

Here is an email I received this weekend... (shared with permission of the parent)

"I just wanted to say how happy it makes me to hear ***  telling me about sounds and syllables all day long! "I got a new Pokeball - p-p-p-Pokeball. That starts with P!" "Can I have some apple juice? Ap-ple-juice. That has three syllables!" She's singing songs from music class, too. 🙂"

  1. Great job making things with the play doh. Wasn't that a nice surprise Mr. Wesseluis' mom made for all of you? She's a very special lady. Enjoy your book bags. Loving your blog in Texas.

  2. Whoa, those are cool bead structures! What a neat idea. I love your book bags, too. That was very kind of Mr. Wesselius' mom. It was fun to read a new book last night! - H's mom
