A Mismatch Week!

Question: What do you get when you cross a library, a pumpkin, and a campfire?
Answer: One fun week in KA Kindergarten!

With two field trips this week, Kindergarten has been busy (but in the best way possible!) On Monday we continued learning about books by traveling to the Wells County Public Library. The Librarian there read us stories about libraries, and taught us about authors and illustrators. We then got a tour of the children's section of library.

On Tuesday the whole field trip took a trip to Drennen's Pumpkin Farm. We went through a corn maze, went on a hayride, and picked out our own pumpkins to take home! They then gave a presentation about how pumpkins grow, where I think everyone learned a lot! However, the student's highlight of the day may have been the kittens there!








On Thursday we learned about another type of books, songbooks! We sat around the "campfire" and sang some of our favorite songs! Some students even made up their own songs for us! But what's a campfire with....SMORES! For snack we made our own non-cook smores using marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and graham cracker crumbs. 




This is the first month that Miss Susan from the library came to read, sing, and do activities with the students. She will be coming every month, and it is so much fun!

We learned three letter sounds this week, "u", "k", and "c". We also have a new sight word, "his". The students are reading more and more smoothly. I hope everyone is enjoying reading for Book-It. When the chart is all full, send it in to get a free pizza!
