BAS and more

We have a lot going on within the next few weeks in our class. We will be testing for our BAS. This is to see what level the kids are reading on. I'm happy to say that I tested a few kids on Friday and everyone is going up a level. Yay!!! Our hundredth day of school is on Feb. 1st. We will have a Valentine's party on Feb. 11th. We are going to be extremely busy, but I can't believe how fast the month of January flew by. 

MClass MOY Testing

This week we will be starting our MClass Middle of the Year Testing. We will be testing on letter recognition, blending, sight word recognition, and more. I will be sending home these results as soon as possible. 

Welcome Back!

We had a great week back. It was a little hectic in the beginning, but our class got back into our normal weekly routine. Everyone was so excited to tell about their Christmas adventures. I loved getting to hear what they did, who they visited, and what Santa brought them. Below is a picture from our Christmas Concert. 

Upcoming Events

We have several upcoming events. This week on Friday, December 10th, at 2:15 p.m. the kindergarten classes will be holding a Christmas Concert at the JPS Gym. Come join us and sing some wonderful Christmas songs. December 14th we will have fall picture retakes. December 16th is the day of our Christmas party. We will have the party at around 1:45 p.m. I will be sending notes home regarding the party this week. December 17th is an early release day. We will be getting out of school at around 12 p.m. 

Graphing

We worked on graphing in the past few weeks. We have graphed the letters in our names, our birthdays, and even our favorite type of pets. Below is a picture of a quick graph that we made on the board with our names. The kids loved getting to count the amount of letters in their name and going to the board to graph it. 

Our Thanksgiving Turkey

 Here are pictures of our beautiful Thanksgiving turkey. The kids did a fantastic job on their feathers!! 

Evacuation Drill

Just a reminder...we are having an evacuation drill tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. We will be getting on the bus to go to our evacuation site, the Kellyville Center. This will be just a practice drill. I have already talked to the kids about it. I told the kids we were practicing in case we had an emergency, such as the losing power.
