Peas, Peas, Everywhere &Meeting Slither


When the Kindergarteners arrived at school today their sand table was filled with dried peas instead of sand. They had fun as they poured and measured, scooped and filled different sized containers and discovered which held the most, more and the least. The peas also were hiding some hidden treasures that the students enjoyed digging out.

The Kindergarten class also met Slither the Snake --- who helps us with our Jolly Phonics program and especially the letter S s sound. Please help your child go on a letter s hunt around your home and find as many S's that they can.

Learning with Pumpkins


We have started exploring and learning using pumpkins. We have been reading many stories about pumpkins and how they grow. We have examined different kinds and sizes of pumpkins and looked at what is inside.
