Kindergarten - Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Strell

Wow, it is hard to believe that Spring is almost here…the kindergarten students look forward

to going outside for recess and a breath of fresh air! It is also hard to believe that we are

in the third quarter; the kindergarten children are working very hard getting ready for First

Grade.

In Reading/Phonics the children continue to build their word wall and are reading simple stories!  The children are continuing to blend sounds together to read one syllable words.  They love starting our day by reading a morning message.   In Math, we are modeling addition and subtraction equations with number bonds and solving word problems with a variety of manipulatives. In Science, we learned how a rainbow is made and had fun making one with a prism.   In Social Studies, we keep track of the number of days we had ”lion” weather and “lamb” weather on our calendar. We are working on our design cycle and following each step.  We created and designed our own plants in class! We also reviewed and practiced our tornado drill, fire drill and lockdown drill.

In Religion we are learning about Lent. During this time, we are reminded that each one of us is a child of God.  Jesus sacrificed his life to show how much he loves us and now it’s our turn to

show our love for Him by making sacrifices and trying to be a better person. The children

received a calendar of good deeds to help them better themselves during the 40 days of Lent.

The KA and KB children wish all of you a Happy Spring!
