A Very Busy Month

November was a very busy month! In addition to election day we had many other activities going on in kindergarten. Mystery Reader A huge Thank You to Mr. Thomas for coming in and reading to the class as a mystery reader. The students loved the story you read.

Kindness Day The students celebrated International Kindness Day by working together with  Mrs. Higgins class to create kindess rocks with kind/caring messages on them. Once the rocks were completed our class participated in a special kindergarten/first grade cooperative project of making a kindness garden. Each class put their rocks in a section of the garden and then together we read the Kindness Pledge. It was so special to see all of the beautiful rocks with such kind and caring messages on them.

Thanksgiving Performance The students were so excited to perform the poems and songs they have been practicing. They did an amazing job! 

Gratitude Tree November's Life is Good theme was Gratitude. After reading books about giving thanks and having gratitude for all of the people in our lives and the things we are lucky enough to have, each student wrote one thing they are grateful for on a fall colored leaf, and it was added to our school-wide: Gratitude is Always in Season tree. Next time you visit, stop in the lobby and read all of the things our students and staff members are grateful for. It is truly inspiring!

Hide the Turkey! This month's family homework project was to work together to disguise a turkey so it wouldn't get eaten on Thanksgiving Day. The students loved sharing their projects and did a great job telling how they chose their disguise and what materials they used.

Thanksgving Feast  The students enjoyed a special feast before Thanksgiving break. Our feast included mini corn muffins with homemade butter, apple slices, and the biggest surprise of all......a turkey stuffed with popcorn. 

Finally, we ended our day by learning about the Pilgrims, Native Americans, and the First Thanksgiving from Mrs. Kennedy's talented second graders. Thank You!

As you can see, November was a busy and exciting month for us.
