Comfy, Cozy Day

It was an exciting day for Comfy, Cozy Day here in Kindergarten!

The children began their day with coloring a picture of themselves in their pajamas or comfy clothes.  

Then, we headed down to the library for a special reading of The Polar Express by 

Chris Van Allsburg.  Each child was greeted by a very special conductor, Mrs. Libby's grandfather.  He happily punched each Polar Express ticket and excitedly called out "All Aboard!" as the children began to watch a special reading of the story.  

After the story, the children each recieved a special  silver bell to wear.

Then the children made a magical Polar Express train and wrote what they would see on their way up to the North Pole.

Finally, the students use their math skills to create number sentences using "Five Silver Bells".

It was a magical and fun day in our comfy, cozy clothes!

Wishing you and your family the very best during this holiday season!

Teddy Bear Day

It was Teddy Bear Day on Friday! 

The children got to have a great day reading the last of 5 different versions of The Three Bears stories which was Godli Rocks and the Three Bears. Over the past 2 weeks, the children focused on different stories such as The Three Bears by Paul Galdone, The Three Bears by Jan Brett, Somebody and the Three Blairs and Tackylocks and the Three Bears.  We focused on retelling, characters and setting.  The children voted on their favorite version and illustrated and labeled their favorite part of their favorite book.

Then the children got to explore with their teddy bears or favorite stuffed animals!

The children got to measure them with cubes to find their height, compare weight on a balance, discuss texture and size, and fur length.

It was a great day celebrating the end of our Three Bears unit!

So much fun!
