Putting the Garden to Bed

Kindergarten helped but our garden boxes to bed for the winter. We added seaweed and hay to keep them protected from the snow and to provide nutrients for the spring.

Curriculum Updates

Reading: We are working on retelling old favorite storybooks! We have been practicing retelling familiar books.
We are encouraging you to read many books to your child and have them bring the books in to share and retell
to the class! We remind the students to look at the pictures, remember and read!  They are encouraged
to try and remember some of the exact words the characters say and to sound like the character when
they’re “reading” or retelling the book.

Writing:  We have been writing great stories! We learned to plan out our pages, sound out words , write labels
and even make our characters talk using speech bubbles! Next week we finish our narrative writing and will
start writing like scientists! We will zoom in on details to describe science objects like acorns, pinecones, leaves,
and gourds. We will “Notice”, Wonder”, and “Think about” attributes of these objects and describe them in detail.
