Kindergarten - Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Strell

Kindergarten October News
 
The Kindergarten children have been busy since day one getting
into and practicing the school/classroom routines & procedures.
They have had the opportunity to practice safety drills.
 
The Kindergarteners have also been working on many concepts and skills.  In Religion they have been practicing making
the sign of the cross properly and reciting prayers, following in Jesus’ footsteps by treating others with respect. In Reading they are identifying letters and the sounds they make at the beginning & at the end of words, building a word wall and practicing rhyming words.  In Math we are counting by ones, twos, tens and fives to 100, counting & naming sets with numbers, sorting sets, reading & extending patterns.  In Social Studies & Science we are learning about the seasons, identifying living & nonliving things, and about holidays & customs.  The children are also working on printing in proper form, coloring neatly & cutting. These are just a few of the MANY concepts/skills we are working on daily in class!
 
Kindergarteners will have their first “In House” Field Trip which focuses on Fire Safety & Prevention for National Fire Prevention. Two Firemen from the Elyria Fire Department will come in with equipment, posters, and handouts to help educate the children on this important topic.
 
The children will also participate in the Halloween Dance-A-Thon and have a great time!
