PG Student Council

Pine Glen Carnival is Coming!

Each class is asked to support the carnival by contributing a classroom raffle item.  Room parents from 103 will be in touch via email and a notice to invite you to participate.

Hooray, hooray, we had a great day!

Hooray, hooray, we had a great day!

Room 103 celebrated the 100th day of kindergarten today with many special activities.  Be sure to ask your child about our 100 second scribble and see our 100 seconds of being frozen like a statue!

We also made necklaces with 100 beads and made pictures with 100 fingerprints!  We even practiced sitting quietly for 100 seconds!  Then we counted our 100 collections.  Whew!  100 is a lot!  

Today was also that start of our Read Across America Celebration - we wore our pjs and read Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book.

Our 100 pictures were colored carefully!

We built 100 words with magnets

We wrote about our 100th day with Ms. Miliano.

100 second scribble was tiring!

A new visitor greeted us today too to help us dive right in and celebrate!  We have a red fish and a blue fish.......sound like a Dr. Seuss title?  

100 sticks takes up more space than 100 pennies!

100 beads do not take up a lot of space.

Play And Fun - The Best Way To Learn!

Students recently took home the newest set of sight words to practice.  Like previous sets, these words are presented for practicing in a game format.  It sure looks like the stack and read game is a hit.  Luca is even teaching his sister the words!

If you can read the word then you can stack them.....look how big the tower is!

Over the course of the school year we have had a stacking game, a snowball game, pancake words, rotten apples and soon to come the baking cookies game!  We love learning with games!

Reminder, for a full list of our kindergarten words click on the high frequency words tab at the top of the blog.  There are links to interactive practice tools for students to try out too!

Sign Language Alphabet

 Throughout the month of February we practiced a few songs for Valentine's Day.  One of our favorites has been learning to sign the alphabet along to the the song "A Your Adorable".  Students have learned to communicate in many ways this year.  We know our upper and lower case letters, we speak to one another and can read one another's faces and non-verbal signs and now we can sign!

Loved the Love!

Room 103 was filled with love and smiles today!  We loved celebrating Valentine's Day!

Student arrived dressed lovely.  Handsome young men and beautiful young ladies full of joy and love and ready to share it!  We exchanged well  wishes during our morning meeting and then exchanged special gifts.  Students created wreaths, wall hangings, piggy banks, toys and boxes of love!  All of the homemade treasures were awesome and reflected a lot of hard work and personal effort.

Following our gift exchange we enjoyed looking at the many Valentine messages we received in our mailboxes!

 Next we had a delicious luncheon with the ambiance of candlelight!  Students practiced appropriate dining conversation and demonstrated terrific table manners!  A special thank you to the Pine Glen kitchen staff.  Our lunch ladies prepared a wonderful luncheon for us!
