Ms. Ballard, Mrs. Ishman, Mrs. Weber, Mrs. Graf January 9-13, 2017 Kindergarten Ms. Ballard, Mrs. Ishman, Mrs. Weber, Mrs. Graf Kindergarten News Specials: Our theme for the New Year is “Weather”. We continue studying about the seasons and weather as a classroom theme, in Language Arts and Science Lab. The children enjoyed discovering the thermometer. As part of our study of the weather each student will get a turn to be the meteorologist for the day.  There is a direction sheet in the front of the journal and the homework is quite simple.  The most important thing to remember is to return it to school the next day as another student is waiting to take it home.
