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!

Hi Families! We have so many upcoming, exciting events happening in kindergarten! The first is that we will be making boats tomorrow. These boats should be able to hold a ping pong ball and float! If you have any boat making materials that we could use, please send them in tomorrow! The materials can be anything from Popsicle sticks to tin foil. We will build from our supplies we get! Thank you!

Today we investigated sinking and floating. The kids made predictions about which items would float, and which would sink and then they tested them. Here are some photos from the activity:

 

 

We have our walking field trip to Mallory brook on Wednesday. Please make sure your child is prepared with a lunch, snack, water,and appropriate walking shoes. We will be on a trail. Students should also have shoes that they can wear in the water. It would great if you could apply any sunscreen and insect repellent on your child before they come to school. We will reapply if needed.

We want to remind you that we have a celebration of learning and appreciation breakfast scheduled for Thursday morning at 10:00. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

We have our Boulder Beach field trip scheduled for Tuesday June 17th with a rain date of the 18th. You may send in a life vest for your child. That would be totally fine! It is optional.

Wow! What an exciting time! Thank you for all of your support!

Hello families! We would like to inform you that we have cancelled the field trip to Mallory Brook that we scheduled for tomorrow. It looks like possible heavy rain tonight so that could pose safety issues for us along the trail and water tomorrow. We will try to reschedule as soon as we can! Thank you for understanding!
