Star of the Week, 3D Shapes, Winter Weather and Cooking

Star of the Week
This week our Star of the Week is a girl who loves the colors pink and blue.  Her favorite movie is Despicable Me 2.  She wants to be a hair dresser when she grows up!


3D Solid Shapes
This week in math we discovered the difference between 2D shapes and 3D shapes. We sorted them, built them, made maps, and traveled around the building to find some real life 3D objects.

Winter Weather
It's snowing in TEXAS!!!!!  So what would you do if it started snowing in Texas?  We'll, of course, you go outside and try to catch snowflakes on your tongue!!! We loved every minute of being outside with the snow falling. We tried to make a snowball, snowman, and a snow angel, but we quickly realized we needed more snow! 











Kangaroo Pockets Cooking
This week we studied, wrote, and followed a recipe about the letter Kk. We researched kangaroos to find out why they have a pocket for their babies. Did you know that their babies won't fall out even if they are hopping!?!?  And we decided they look like little mice when they are first born! We then made Kangaroo pockets using pita bread and cheese. 






Pride Rally
We LOVE Pride Rally!!!  At the beginning of Pride Rally we can dance and sing with the Spirit Squad. This is a picture of us living it up at Pride Rally. We also won 5 extra minutes of recess next week because we had the best attendance of all the kindergarten classes!  Yeah!!!! Maybe we can actually go out next week to enjoy those minutes!  




Reminders:
Next week is a BIG week in Kindergarten!!  We will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Monday and Valentine's Day on Friday.  Please wear your 100th day of school project on Monday.  I sent a list of student names in your child's folder last week for Valentine's cards.  If you need an additional list, please let me know.  

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please let me know!!
