PTO Enrichment-African Drumming

We started Friday morning with an amazing African drumming performance. Students enjoyed the music, dancing, and energy of this assembly. Some FK students and teachers joined in to show off their dancing skills. Thank you PTO for funding this wonderful cultural experience.

Read Aloud

Today I shared one of my favorite read alouds, Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch!

This story is about an lonely older man named Mr. Hatch who receives an unexpected Valentine. The main character begins to change his old ways after receiving this surprise from a secret admirer. 

Students are practicing their typing skills. They typed their reading response in a Google Form using Google Classroom.

Fractions with Conversation Hearts

Today our class used conversation hearts to find fractions of a group. Look at our sweet work!

Puritan Art Gallery

Students in our class and Mrs. Moore's class did some historical research on the lives of the Puritans. They then worked with a partner to create a piece of artwork that demonstrates what they learned. The art was displayed in the cafeteria, so others could view it to learn more about these original colonists.

Nutrition Detectives

Today a representative from the YMCA came to teach the students to be nutrition detectives. They learned how to read food labels and how the ingredient list provides clues about what is healthy or unhealthy. 

Go Patriots!

 We learned a bit about Roman numerals thanks to Super Bowl LII. 

Have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend! Go Patriots!!

Fractions

Students have been learning about fractions in math. They know about unit fractions, numerators, and denominators. We started our fraction journey with manipulatives such as fraction strips and fraction circles.

Today the students made fraction pizzas in math. 

Acts of Kindness

The FK students and staff are focusing on kindness this week. Today students went in the FK Maker Space during library to work on a special project. Each child designed and created a pair of skid-proof socks. These socks will be donated to a local shelter.
