Caught Doing Good

 Mrs. Hoyt and other guest teachers will be watching for kindergartners who are doing good.  Eyes focused, participating, engaged and trying their best.  

When parents pick up materials on Thursday at the Science Center, there will be a special package of prizes for each student.

Students will be earning stars and when they earn 10 stars and have a full row, parents may let their child select one prize from the bag.

Colors of Kindergarten

 Our first week together was great fun!  Thank you to our families for all the efforts at home to enable us to connect and learn together.

We spent our first week comparing the colors we were wearing and read books about the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue.  This week we will continue with the colors purple, black, white, brown and pink.  

Please send Mrs. Hoyt photos of the work your children does at home, I would love to see their work and their smiling faces!

Hansika shared her new shirt!  It says kindergarten is magical!  Mrs. Hoyt agrees!

Wish List

Updated September 2020 -

We are in need of the following items:

                                                   Baggies - 2 gallon bags for bi-weekly supply packaging.

Left over small birthday party favors - we had out lots of prizes

We strive to learn in creative ways.  Sometimes this approach has our teachers scrambling for supplies.  Perhaps you can help us out by contributing something from our wish list.

If you have something that you would like to contribute, please email Mrs. Hoyt at khoyt@bpsk12.org so we can arrange a drop off.

Toolkits, Journales and Other Supplies

 

Lots of materials were packaged for pick up last week.  Please make sure you have the contents that should have been included:

pencil box

pencils of varying sizes

crayons

glue stick

scissors

eraser

foam circle (pool noodle piece)

gel bag (hair gel and food coloring)

journal (photo above)

When you picked up the ipad you should have been given a dry erase pouch, dry erase marker and a few papers (plain white and blue bingo grid).

Note about school supplies:  Typically in a classroom setting we only make the supplies we will be utilizing available to students as needed.  Otherwise, they can become distracting, lost or damaged.  You may want to establish a spot to have supplies stored when not being utilized.

Three Little Pigs

   

Retelling stories is a wonderful and fun kindergten skill. I will be reading a few versions of the story of the Three Little Pigs and will be encouraging students to retell the 3 Little Pigs story to their families.

Students love doing this!

I have made a few props and will share them with the kids as I retell the story. I will suggest that if students would like an extra idea for work at home they attempt to create some props to help tell the story.

In past years, families video recorded their child’s efforts and emailed the videos to me.  We shared the videos with the class and posted them on the blog for all to see.  I would love to see how your children retell the story of the 3 Little Pigs and am hoping to have all our students participate in this activity this year!  If you decide to participate and share,  please send your videos by Friday, September 25th.
