Happy 2016

We are beginning to get back into the swing of things again here in kindergarten! The kiddos have grown so much over the holiday break, I am always shocked at the change! We have had some fun over the last couple of days and I am looking forward to continuing throughout the rest of the year. It was great to hear about everyone's break, it sounded like a lot of fun was had! The kids were very interested in what I did and where I went; I used this as an opportunity to show them the globe and talk about the world! 

Today we started Project Lead the Way which is part of the STEM (Science, Education, Technology, Math) program. They LOVED it!! Today we talked about engineers, structure and function. Ask your child if they can tell you what an engineer is. Ask them to tell you what structure and function are. They did a great job discussing the function of different things in our classroom. We will continue to complete lessons from this curriculum every week. Let's keep the excitement alive so talk to your kiddos about it!
