Creativity Everywhere!

Between this week being spirit week and the class's theme being fictional stories, creativity was over flowing in KA Kindergarten! 

Monday was animal day! It was fun to see what animal each child decided to dress like, and then to see them act like that animal. 






It was also this student's 6th birthday on Monday too! 


In class we read about Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and then acted out the story! In phonics we talked about the letter "g" and learned the sight words "are" and "father". In math we started a new unit learning about telling time! 

Tuesday was crazy hair/hat/sock day! There was some major bed head going on! 





In class we read the story of The Three Little Pigs. The students then took on the task of making their own strong houses in teams. Once the houses were built, the Big Bad Wolf (AKA a hairdryer) came and tried to blow the houses over. They all stood strong though! Such good builders! But, we talked about how the most important thing about building is building on a strong foundation, in Jesus Christ. 




Also in class we learned more words that have the letter "g" in them. In math we began to tell time to the hour. This is one of  my favorite math lessons to teach! 

Thursday was twin day! The students were so excited to plan their matching outfits!



In class we read about Jack and the Beanstalk and played some alphabet BINGO with "magic beans". We also spent some discussions about real verses fantasy, and how it's fun to use our imaginations and creativity. Their imaginations shown through as they drew pictures about what they pretended to be above the clouds. Some creative answers were, a castle, a heart house, and my house! We then talked the importance of knowing what is real verses what is fantasy. 

Also, CONGRATULATIONS to these two Kindergartners for finishing their October Book-It and earning a free personal pizza! If anyone still has a complete form, I will still take them this Monday. 

I hope to see everyone at the KA auction on Saturday. Dinner and the silent auction is from 4:30 to 6:30, and the auction starts at 6:30.
