What is happening in Ms. Kinzler’s K4 classroom? September 12-16, 2016

Getting into Shape! This week, the children have been exploring shapes and discovering how shapes make up just about everything we see! AH, LG and FB searching for hidden treasures in rice and sorting them by shape using forks and tweezers.

Shapes with Yarn The children enjoyed using yarn to create BIG shapes on our group carpet. They started off with just making simple shapes, but then took their creativity to the next level and built a car! LT & SC figuring out how to arrange each of their yearn pieces to make one big square. VB & SC [inside their ‘car’]: “We made four circles for the wheels!”

 Graphing Emotions  On Friday, the children shared how they felt by making a picture graph! They did great with reading our graph to figure out how our class was feeling. …Clearly, we have a very happy, yet EXHAUSTED class 

Reminders for next week… On Monday, September 19, library books are due! Please put your child’s library book in their backpack Sunday night. Also, please have your child bring back their nap pillow and blanket in a reusable bag so they will have a comfy rest on Monday  On Tuesday, September 20, the children’s art homework is due for Mrs. Wenta! They get to draw objects that are in their favorite color. Please have your child complete the assignment in their sketch books and return them to school by Tuesday.
