November and Our Writing Conferences

November was a busy month for our Kindergarten class! We learned how to add by adding how many orange and yellow feathers were on our turkeys. We also learned how to compare and contrast stories. We learned about life long ago and what it was like to be a Pilgrim and an Indian in comparison to life today.

Our student led conferences were the main focus for this month in our class. We worked very hard to prepare for this big event by collecting writing samples and practicing reading them to share with our parents. On November 23 our parents arrived at 10:30 am and we shared our writing with them. We sang Thanksgiving songs and had a light snack together. Check out the picture slide show to see all the parents and students enjoying this special day!

Red Ribbon Week and Pumpkins!

We ended the month of October with Red Ribbon Week. Each day the children were asked to dress up either in red (100% class participation!), wear team jerseys, wear crazy socks or wear a hat to school. The slide show will allow you to see some of the attire from red ribbon week. It was a fun, fun week for us all!!!
On October 29, we had the first ever Lyman storybook character dress up day!! We had some great characters the parade like Angelina Ballerina, Woody, Dr. Seuss, Peter Cottontail and Little Miss Muffet. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Also, on October 29 we (Mrs. Marr) carved our class pumpkin. We decided to carve a happy face because our class voted that we liked happy faces the best. Everyone completed a class pumpkin data sheet that will be a part of his or her kindergarten scrapbook that will go home at the end of the year.
October was a fun filled month with a lots of learning. We are looking forward to all that November has in store for us!! It is hard to believe Thanksgiving will be here at the end of the month!
