This month, we have been focusing on the virtue of friendship as a school. The kindergarteners completed an activity this week that showed how hurtful words can be. We read the story “Chrysanthemum.” As we read the story, we would crumple up a paper heart each time someone made fun of Chrysanthemum. We would also try to fix the heart when someone tried to make her feel better. We saw that even though we tried to fix her heart, it was still wrinkled. Hurtful words are hard to forget! We signed the heart and learned a rhyme to help remind us to think before we talk to our friends: Before you speak, think and be smart. It’s hard to fix a wrinkled heart!
What a beautiful day we had to visit Stara's farm this week! The students had fun picking out their own pumpkin and we enjoyed seeing the different shapes and sizes they found. We also enjoyed a special treat before returning. Thank you to the Stara family for letting us come to their farm! Caden came to visit the kindergarteners today. He is Mrs. Smith's one year old son. He had fun playing with all the kids and some of them even made pictures for him to hang in his room. He loved visiting and will have to come back again!
Sister Michaelene came to our classrooms today to help get us excited about the book fair. This year the theme is Wild West and she brought a fun horse to help show us how fun the book fair will be. Make sure to stop in next week and check it out! The book fair will be from October 16th to the 24th.
This week we talked about fire safety. We had some special visitors on Tuesday come to St. Mary's to talk to us. They showed us all the neat equipment the fireman have to put on before going out. We would like to thank everyone on the Fire and Rescue department that help us everyday! We will always keep you in our prayers!
Last week we did an STEM activity were the Kinders used apple chunks and toothpicks to build a raft! After they built their raft in groups we tested them to see if the rafts would float! The Kinders did an awesome job of putting their ideas together to make an apple raft.
