Monarch Butterflies
Kindergarteners were excited to dive head first into our study of monarch butterflies. This week, students learned all about the annual monarch migration. Our class was astounded to find out that monarchs make an incredible journey of up to 4500 km, often to the same tree that their ancestors had traveled to. Students loved learning all about the anatomy of a butterfly and all of the fun ways they can use their proboscis! Kindergarteners welcomed caterpillars of our own (Painted Ladies) into the classroom to observe the lifecycle with their own eyes!
Yoga
Students were overjoyed this week to attend one of their favorite specials, Yoga with Ms. Stacy. We value this part of our week as students find time to center themselves in a busy school day. Students returned to class excited to tell us all about their favorite yoga poses and how much they love spending mornings calming their spirits in Yoga. We love Ms. Stacy and all of the tools she provides for our TCS community!
Word Workers
Kindergarteners have been working hard learning new letters and reading and spelling new words! This week, we introduced a new game called Word Work to our phonics time. Word Work helps us practice the letters and sounds that we have been learning so we can become strong readers and spellers. During this activity, we use our magnetic letters and letter trays to do Word Work and always use our very best listening ears! Ask your brave Word Worker to tell you all about our new game!
