Red, White & Blue Day

Today was another great day! The majority of the kiddos wore red, white and blue but they are so excited for Halloween so that was all they talked about! I was able to snap a few pictures of the kiddos working hard during math.......

See you tomorrow for Halloween! It will be a FUN day!

I will be out Monday, Ms. Sydney will be here. I have a meeting with the other kindergarten teachers away from the school. 

Cozy Pajama Day!!!

Put a Cap on Drugs...

Today we started our Red Ribbon Week celebration...we wore hats to school and made minions because There Are a Minion Reasons to be Drug Free. It was a fun day! 71% of the kiddos wore a hat :) We had all sorts of hats; from crowns to cats to winter hats and even a witch hat! It was a very fun way to start our week!!

Please encourage your child to wear crazy socks tomorrow!!

See you Tuesday!

T - Top - /t/

 You may hear your kiddo singing the song; T (name of letter) top (word that starts with T) /t/ (sound that t makes).

We have special paper in writing...it looks like this:

The paper has different lines; sky line, plane line, grass line, worm line.

Every letter will have a song that helps them remember how to write it.

The song goes like this......

Start at the sky line,

Stop at the grass line, 

Cross at the plane line,

T, top, /t/

Please encourage your child to sing the songs, we will learn many new songs for each letter!

Love Mrs. Baied

PS We also practiced an earthquake drill and started math buckets today.....I'm exhausted! Your kiddo may be too :)

Math Time Fun

What hard working friends!! They are picking up on the  math material so quickly and it makes me so excited!!!

Today the kiddos built numbers 1-5 with different manipulatives including blocks, square tiles, dinosaurs and red/white beans.

Tomorrow we are going to begin MATH BUCKETS. Math Buckets are basically math centers including technology, games and a center to work with me. Each kiddo will complete each center every day; 10 minutes a piece - this is what we will work into, not sure how tomorrow will go! Be sure to ask your child tomorrow night (Wednesday) what MATH BUCKET they liked best.

-- Love Mrs. Baied

Busy Monday!

Hello KB Families

Today was a VERY busy day in kindergarten!! 


Here's a list of a few of the things we did:

• Began walk to read; a program that your child 'walks' to a group that is matched to fit their reading needs. Ask your child who their reading group teacher is!
• Started our math program; this really did not effect the kiddos greatly because we have been doing math but it is a great step for us! Ask your kiddo to count by 10's to 100!
• Met a new friend named Echo who will teach us how to write letters. Ask your kiddo about the sky line, the plane line, the grass line and the worm line on a piece of paper.
• Danced to different Halloween songs!
• Climbed the climbing rope in PE!!! The kiddos also received a great behavior report from Mrs. Kiemele
• Celebrated with pajama day because our behavior was so wonderful for the sub!

We had a very fun day back from our short break!!

See you tomorrow!

Love Mrs. Baied

Please check your child's folder, there is A LOT of important information in there tonight!!

Pumpkins Galore

We started PUMPKIN WEEK today! This is a very exciting week in kindergarten ending with our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday.  We began our day by pokey pinning a pumpkin picture (using a thumb tack and poking holes on the lines, great skill to strengthen little hands), read some pumpkin books, watched a video about the pumpkin life cycle, learned about 3 star coloring by coloring a pumpkin and ended our day exploring our class pumpkins! Thank you to the following families for the pumpkin donations; Rhea, Roke and Steve. We also had fun exploring a white pumpkin that a former custodian at Lowell brought to us! The students had great behavior today :) We will continue pumpkin exploration tomorrow by seeing if the pumpkin floats and cutting them open......

Tomorrow I will be gone for 3 hours for a district directed meeting, I know the students will get a good report from the sub :)

Happy Pumpkin Week!!!

Love Mrs. Baied

We learned what it means to have 3 Star coloring, please remind your kiddo of this type of coloring when coloring at home also! 

Three Star Coloring makes 

Mrs. Baied very happy :) 

We practiced how to earn 3 stars on our coloring by coloring a pumpkin.....the kiddos did a FABULOUS job!! 

Fire Station Field Trip

Today we had our first field trip the fire station! The students were very excited to meet fire fighters, see their trucks and learn more about fire. They had a great time and even got to sit in the drivers seat of the fire engine!
