Over the past few weeks, we have been focusing on different areas of our writing that we need a little extra practice with. During writer's workshop, each kinder focuses on specific writing goals to help strengthen their writing.
I decided to try out 'writing buddies' and wasn't too sure how this idea was going to work out. I thought it would be a easy way to engage kinders in the writing, strengthen social skills, and continue to promote a healthy classroom community. After testing it out, my kinders loved it even more than I did!! It is a manageable way to provide, one-on-one, small group, and peer support to all students--those who are in need of extra support, those who are consistently growing, and those who highly achieve.

In Math, we have been creating, writing, reading, and solving number stories using manipulatives. During centers, kinders worked in small groups to create, write, and solve bunny number stories.
Like always, my kindergarten parents went above and beyond their call of duty to make our Spring party wonderful. Thank you to everyone who donated items for our egg hunt, baskets, and our party. I appreciate everything you do that allows our kinders to make life long memories.
Thank you Mrs. Kueny, Mrs. Ryer, and Mrs. Schlagle for helping at our Spring party!
Kinders were excited to dye eggs with our parent helpers. Thank you Mrs. Bassett, Mrs. Engle, Mrs. Ryer, and Mrs. Thurston for helping us make some really cool eggs!
