Our First Few Days

It's been three days since we started our year in kindergarten, and we have already accomplished so much.  Here's a glimpse at just a few of the things we have done over the past few days.



On the first day, we shared a little about ourselves.  Some shared how they love to play with their brothers and sisters, some shared about their trips to Great Escape, and one friend shared how his father caught a feisty snake this summer.  


We have been busy sharing my favorite books by Eric Litwin.



Our most exciting activity, since the start of school, began with our school tour. After reading Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes, we were led on a scavenger hunt around school following Pete's clues.  We never found him, but he still has us "rocking in our school shoes".

We didn't stop there.  Wait until you see our Pete the Cat display.  Here's a sneak peek.  Can you spot your child's shoes? 













We started this week with our traditional Kindergarten Olympics activities.  Each day, we will meet with the other Kindergarten classes to get to know each other through a variety of fun games and activities. We walked on tightropes yesterday, and we are looking forward to scooters later this week.  

We are learning how to use the SMART Board.  Today we moved our names on the board to match our pictures.  It was our way of taking attendance.

We are looking forward to a great end to our first full week!

  1. Mrs Ryan -

    Thanks for taking the time to update your blog. I really enjoyed reading about the activities the kids are doing. All I seem to get from Alex is that he had a great time and there's "too many activities" so he doesn't remember them all.

    FYI - Pete is a big hit as that's the only thing I keep hearing about (along w/ the song re: Pete's white shoes!).

    Looking forward to reading more!
