STAR STUDENTS: We had 5 star students this week in our class. The kids came in every morning and asked who the star student was that day…they were so excited!! Every week I will send home 5 more star student papers until we have learned all about every friend in our class!! Here are pictures of our star students this week…

    

 

Special 8th Grade Visitors Came to Meet Us!

On Thursday we met to Brandon, Noah and Sean. They are 8th graders in Mr. VanNoord’s leadership training class at Baldwin Middle school.  The class will be coming every Thursday morning, to spend time with all kinders at Georgetown.  The kids got to play some games together.  We are looking forward to their visit next Thursday!

  

Spirit Day!

On Friday morning, we had HHS football players, cheerleaders, super fans and some band members stop by to lead the school in cheers to celebrate Eagle Spirit Day!!  It was fun to see everybody cheering for Hudsonville and getting us excited for the homecoming game!!

         

POPCORN WORDS:       IS   HIS   THIS    GREEN                                                       These popcorn words ‘popped’ into our learning this week.  We enjoyed reading Little Yellow and Little Blue, a sweet story about friendship.  The kinders had fun finding out what happens when you mix yellow and blue…it makes GREENThey were so excited they got to bring home the play-dough!!

Green Frogs!!

We had fun making a craft to celebrate our week of green! We made frogs that are decorating our classroom!

  

 

MATH:  We learned that we can write numbers, draw groups of objects to show the number and started adding and subtracting numbers. Each morning at calendar we add one (+1) to our math chart. We talk about how many days we’ve been in school, adding one more each day. We talk about groups of tens and ones. This week, we got up to the number 22 (20 + 2 = 22). We learned about circles and shapes that are not circles.

   

WRITING: This week in writing we practiced drawing Mat Man and adding all of the parts of a person. We also have been doing shared writing. We draw a picture together as a class and come up with a sentence about the picture. The kids love doing shared writing!

         

SPLIT LIT: During our split lit time, we have been practicing rhyming and beginning word sounds. We played games and did some activities to reinforce these skills.

 

SMILEY FACES: We have been working hard on earning smiley faces during the day! The kinders get so excited when they earn a smiley! If we have more smileys at the end of the day then sad faces we earn a star…when we earn 10 stars, we will have another fun day!

PAJAMA DAY: We had a really fun pajama day! We ended the day with popsicles…always a great treat!!
