Kindergartners bring "Billy Goats Gruff" to life
Last week, kindergartners in Kathie Purdie's class made the fairy tale "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" come to life in their classroom. Students produced their own Readers' Theater version pf the story, which they performed for other students in the Lower School. Students will later compare and contrast the fairy tale with Three Snow Bears during their author study of Jan Brett.
"Test tube" is word of the week in kindergarten science
Kindergartners is Ms. G's science class are exploring a new science activity each week. As you can see, this week's word is "test tube." These kindergartners in Ms. Tracy Smith's class are very proud of their new lab equipment!
Kindergarten music program highlights curricular connections
On October 21, Luann Hayes and her kindergarten music classes welcomed parents for a program celebrating music and creative movement exercises (and shoes!). Kindergartners showed off their growing mastery of music fundamentals. The program also highlighted the ways in which the music curriculum extends and reinforces what students are learning in the classroom. Most of all, the young performers enjoyed dancing in their fancy red shoes!
