I hope everyone found their 1st week of Fall cool and refreshing. On Friday we celebrated our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes during our Kindergarten Math Day. Our class visited 3 other kindergarten classes, and were engaged in fun activities that included building, movement, technology, and eating shapes!! They had a BLAST!
Over the next few weeks, we would like to incorporate some really cool art activities; As we all know, materials are very expensive. If you would like to contribute, gift cards to Michaels, Target, or Walmart would be greatly appreciated.
I will be sending out a sign-up genius for food items we will be needing through-out the month of October. When signing up, please pay special attention to the date that we will need the items you volunteer to send.
