What a busy, exciting, and wonderfully wintry week we\u2019ve had together! \u2744\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We kicked things off with a whole-kindergarten storytelling session<\/strong>. \ud83d\udcd6\ud83d\udc3b
Ms. Rose read Goldilocks and the Three Bears<\/em>, and the children loved hearing the story come alive. Afterwards, we traced around our feet and cut out the shapes to make Goldilocks footprints<\/strong> \ud83d\udc63\u2014a great little motor-skill challenge! It was lovely for everyone to be together as a whole school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday<\/strong>, we began reading our new book, Get the Pets<\/strong>. \ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc31\ud83d\udc30
Each child brought home a copy, so please enjoy reading it together a few times throughout the week. Rereading familiar books helps build reading fluency, confidence, and joy! \ud83d\udcda\ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday<\/strong>, we splashed our way through our swimming lesson at SAM. \ud83c\udfca\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83d\udca6
The children practiced kicking with straight legs and pointed toes<\/strong>, and they are becoming stronger and more comfortable in the water each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In music<\/strong>, we joined Aurora\u2019s class to rehearse our Christmas show song<\/strong>. \ud83c\udf84\ud83c\udfb6
The children are doing wonderfully\u2014each practice sounds better and better! It was exciting for them to hear what the full song will sound like when everyone sings together. Keep practicing those lyrics at home! \ud83c\udfa4\u2b50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
