Back to School 2024-2025

 Welcome to Kindergarten

Mrs. Nord and Mrs. Ryan's Class

Our first week of school fun! 

Mrs. Ryan and I put our "Ready Confetti" under our pillows on Sunday night to help ease our first day jitters!  

1st Day of School Pics💙

We have had the best first week of school! Many thanks for sending in the paperwork and supplies.  We met all of our "specials" teachers and met our 6th grade buddies. The kids are adjusting to their new routines and are already exceeding our expectations. Thank you for sharing them with us!

    In ELA: We are practicing printing our letters, especially the lowercase letters. We listened to stories and practiced "turn and talk" with our neighbors. We practiced the letter t (recognizing it,  picture, and sound) "t, top, /t/" in FUNdations and are reday to start Benchmark and Heggerty on Monday. 

       In Math: We are learning to differentiate between items that are the same, alike, and different as well as sorting.  They also sorted by color and shape. We are practicing our listening and following directions skills as well. 

        In Religion: We celebrated Mary's Birthday and started discussing the wonderful world that God has given us. God loves us so much that he give us our wonderful world. Ask your child what some of the gifts are that God gave us. We are practicing making the sign of the cross as well as learning the Hail Mary.

        We met our 6th grade buddies today and completed an activity from the book A Garden to Save the Birds with them. They completed handprint flowers and planted seeds in their decorated flower pots. We can't wait to watch them grow! 

Swoop even stopped by for a visit🦅

 Welcome to Kindergarten

Mrs. Nord and Mrs. Ryan's Class

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

New Year-New Goals!!

One of our favorite stories in December was Santa's Stuck.

We enjoyed brainstorming ways to help Santa out of the chimney!

Congratulations to Maggie McAndrew for being a finalist in the Keep Christ in Christmas art contest! Way to go Maggie!!

    In ELA: We have learned the following sight words: I, like, eat, an, the, we, at, see, go, was, her, down, can, she, is, they, play, it, he, has, do, little, are, and, you. Please practice the sight words located on the word ring.  We know when we write a complete sentence it needs to begin with an uppercase letter and end with punctuation. We are also practicing pronouns. We finished Unit 4 and had our fourth reading assessment. Unit 5 is Technology at Home and School. In the story "Up, Up, and Away" we learned that we might use jet packs as a way to get to school in the future! We are also moving along with Heggerty and Wilson FUNdations and continue to practice recognizing, writing, and making the sounds for each of the letters we have learned. Now we are practicing blending letter sounds.

    In Math: We are finishing Chapter 5 Numbers to 31. This included identifying, showing, and drawing groups of 11 to 31, comparing and ordering numbers, estimating groups of 10, 20, and 30 and problem solving. Our assessment is this week. Next Chapter we will work on tallies, graphs, and fractions as well as a class favorite...surveys!

    In Religion: We continue to practice the Sign of the Cross, Hail Mary, Our Father, and Glory Be. We learned about the church season of Advent and Christmas. Each week we lit the Advent wreath and prayed for our loved ones. We loved watching the SKS Tableau and participating in our own Christmas concert. Now we are learning how our friends, who are also gifts from God, help us learn about the world God gave us.

    We made Christmas cards for our friends at Rosemont Care Senior Living. We are so appreciative of all of the items sent in to gift them. They were overwhelmed with your generosity and kindness. Thank you again!!
