First days of kindergarten!

We are off to a great start!  Last week we spent a lot of time learning names and all about each other.  We shared our "All About Me" banners that you made at home and we started an "All About Me" book that we are making here at school.  We used the mystery box to learn about different classroom tools that we will be using this year (crayons, glue, scissors, etc) and we co-created a list of classroom rules for everyone to follow in order to make this a fun kindergarten year!!  The class brainstormed and came up with pages and pages of rules that we should and should not do, but then we realized they all fit into 4 very simple, important rules...be safe, be kind, be helpful, be a learner!  We made a poster of these rules as a reminder for our classroom and each child signed their name to show that they agreed to follow these rules throughout the year.  Ask your child if they remember what the four rules are:) We also started our science unit on the life cycle of a monarch butterfly and were able to release our first butterfly outside!  We named it Gummy Bear:)  We still have a few caterpillars and 1 chrysalis to observe.  The kids LOVE watching them change and grow!!!  Enjoy the pictures from last week!  I tried to get everyone playing outside, but they move around quickly and are hard to catch!!!
