Surprise! While the class was at Music and P.E., the stuffies took to writing love notes in the classroom. The children returned to surprise letters and their reactions were priceless! Have a wonderful week ahead!
Chrissy Hello Kindergarten Families! Our week was short and sweet, or I should say short and KIND! We earned our third marshmallow and now the word H-O-T is spelled out! We're well on our way to our hot chocolate party. Ask your child how they have helped make kindness win in our classroom! We made up for the rained out Turkey Trot by indulging on Dr. Seuss classics! We enjoyed the short movies The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, The Sneetches, and The Zax. We continued the movie party with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Inch by Inch. Popcorn dialed up the fun! May you be surrounded by loved ones this Thanksgiving holiday and may you find time to reflect on the goodness in your life. I wish you full bellies and full hearts! Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me.
Happy Thanksgiving! With love, Chrissy Hello Kindergarten Families! This week in Language Arts, we:
We visited the Book Fair and worked hard to write our wish lists! I'm overjoyed and so grateful for your generosity in fulfilling MY wishlist for the classroom! We devoured the wonderful additions to our library. Thank you!!! Visiting author, Matt Tavares! Mr. Tavares spoke to us about the process he goes through as an author and illustrator. It was fascinating to learn how much goes into a book! He also gave us tips for drawing our own illustrations, and demonstrated his process by drawing Brixton as if he was a baseball pitcher at Fenway Park! He taught us how to make objects smaller in the background and larger in the foreground. Mr. Tavares then signed the finished sketch for the school to keep in the library. So cool! In preparation for our Thankful presentation, students drew illustrations and added many details before getting to work on writing their words. We can't wait to see you at All-School Meeting on November 28th so that we can tell you all the things we're thankful for! We made Turkey Trot t-shirts with our 3rd Grade Buddies! Thank you for donating shirts for this project. It's totally awesome to see the relationship growing between the Kindergartners and the Third Graders. The completed shirts will be on display on Tuesday at the school-wide event! Hope to see you at the Turkey Trot on November 20 at 1:30! Our classroom is having a Kindness Contest! Much better than competing for WHO can BE the kindest, this is a contest of making sure that KINDNESS always wins over being UNKIND! Kindness filled our classroom at the start of the school year, but it hasn't been as noticeable lately. So the kindness contest is a fun way for us to prioritize being kind to one another! Here's how it works:

Chrissy Hello Kindergarten Families!
Our short week was occupied by conference preparations which leaves little to be shared in a newsletter. However, I hope you were as impressed as I was during your child's conference by their amazing ability to articulate their learning achievements and goals. I was so thrilled to see them beam with pride as they shared their portfolio binders with you! How wonderful to see kindergartners actively participate and take ownership in their learning experience. I'm very excited to continue our year together and help them work toward achieving their goals. Thanks for sharing your children with me! Warmly, Chrissy Hello Kindergarten Families!
