Happy Art Day! Feb. 9

We had a day filled with creativity making Valentine's Day sacks and trains. We incorporated reading (directions for making a heart), math (using the terms first, next, and last to describe the steps), and art. The students learned how to draw and cut out hearts (this can be very challenging for a kindergartner), and then they worked with their Reading Buddies to turn 3 milk cartons into trains. The trains are a work-in-progress, and we will work on them during the next few weeks adding details while we learn more about trains! The students' Valentine sacks are almost done, so as soon as you can, send in those Valentine cards!

Also, we have spent the last few days inside because of the low temperatures. However, always send your child with plenty of gear for outside play as we will go outside if it is above zero degrees, and it can be really chilly at recess!

Have an excellent evening,
Miss Kimpton
