Valentine's Week in Kindergarten

First off, the wonderful news...  Yesterday, they drove the last pile, so our winter of pile driving is officially over. This means we will be going to The Fields Park again every day (well, every day that it is not too wet).  The students are very excited about this!

Celebrating our return to the Fields yesterday

It has been a wild week or two, what with the Pajama Rama, report cards, preparing for today's "Connect to Kindergarten" program, and the long awaited arrival of full school weeks. As you might imagine, things have been a bit hectic; I apologize for the missed blog post last week.

Today, we will celebrate Valentine's Day. In the morning, after our "specials" we will decorate bags.  In the afternoon we will exchange cards and have a small celebration.

Over the past weeks, we have been going full steam.  I am enjoying meeting with reading groups, moving forward with our math curriculum, and beginning to work on the idea of extending our writing to add details to enhance our stories.  After our challenging winter, it is nice to get moving again.

 We have run a little low on snacks -- please think of us as you are shopping this weekend!
