What Are We Learning in Kindergarten?
Math: In Math, we will match numerals to quantities and pictoral models. We will also create groups and sets of objects and sort them in different ways.
Reading: In Reading, we will be reading storybook favorites and will practice reading using the pictures and words.
Writing: In Writing we will be focusing on how to plan our writing before we start our stories. We will also be introducing the Author's Chair and sharing our best work.
Word Work: We will review the letters Ll, Ii, Tt, Oo, Aa, Dd and introduce the letters Cc and Ee. We will introduce the words cut, and can.
Science: We will introduce the study of our five sense focusing on taste. We will conduct the Great Apple Experiment and will make applesauce.

Johnny Appleseed Grandparent's Day
Johnny Appleseed Grandparent’s Day
Kindergarten will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day and Grandparent’s Day on Friday, September 23. On this day we will be celebrating by inviting Kindergarten families and grandparents to join us for a picnic lunch outside with your child’s class from 10:15-11:15. Please be sure to bring a blanket or quilt (camping chairs are great too) to sit on and enjoy your lunch. We are asking for students to please bring a sack lunch for our picnic. On the day of the event, please be sure to check in and out with Mrs. Jantz in the front office. We look forward to celebrating with you!
