All aboard the Polar Express!

We took a ride on the Polar Express today! We walked over to Chets Creek Church and were able to watch the Polar Express on the big screen!

Our kiddos wore their pajamas to enjoy the movie!

We had some styling Spider-Man's!

AND pretty pretty princess!

We gave our students his or her own bell! We hope you hang these on your trees this year and years to come to remember this special year of Kindergarten.

Seasons of Giving Project

Each year, classes at Chets focus on giving through our Seasons of Giving Project. This year, each Kindergarten class adopted 2 Marines who are currently deployed to Afghanistan, to send care packages to for Christmas. 

As a class, we collected a number of items such as snacks, candy, toiletries, and small games to send to our troops. 

Before sending, we wrote letters to our Marines as well. Here are some pictures of our kiddos in action:

We made a book out of all the letters, added some wrapping paper, and sent the packages on their way! 

We hope these packages bring a little joy to our troops who will be spending Christmas away from loved ones this year!

Turkey Time!

Today we made TURKEYS! After completing the turkeys, our kiddos wrote stories about his or her turkey! 

They turned out so cute!

Measuring with Snap Cubes!

We have started a brand new Math Unit today on Measurement!  We had such a fun time beginning this unit by measuring our feet! 

Today we used math manipulatives, snap cubes, to measure our shoes. We talked in great detail about how important it is to be accurate when we measure. 

Here are some snapshots of our kiddos in action:

After measuring his or her foot, our students then wrote down the length on a post it note. After compiling and organizing the data as a class, we discovered that most of our kiddos have feet measuring 10 snap cubes!

The kiddos really enjoyed our lesson today! We are excited to see how much they are going to learn about measurement! 

Have some fun at home with your child asking them to measuring items around the house!

Literacy Parade and Fall Party!

We had such a fun day today! We began our day with our literacy parade! We enjoyed seeing all of our kiddos dressed up as their favorite book character!
