Kindergarten/First Grade Team Teaching Loop

Our kindergarten class works as one team. Mrs. Gariboldi is the lead math/science teacher and Mrs. Parker is the lead literacy teacher. We both have a passion for working with young children and creating an environment that encourages cooperation. It is our goal to have children become life long learners!

Kindergarten Events

We have had a wonderful week! A few quick notes: We will not have ECO until February 5th. We will have a Valentines party and exchange valentines. We will create holders in class. We would like the children to bring 25 valentines that are signed, but not addressed to specific students.

 

Other exciting events are that we are starting to study mammals. Ask your child to share characteristics of a mammal. We also have begun our writing to inform unit. We are learning to write How-to books.

 

Students sharing their first How To writing

 

Today we met with buddies. We brainstormed ideas that we could write about. We then took one idea and broke it down into steps. What fun!
