Special Guests
A big thank you goes out to Cormac and Ellie from the Lamoille Regional Solid Waste Management for coming to kindergarten to teach us about recycling on Wednesday. The children and I learned a lot. They loved making Super Hero Recycler masks as you will see in the photo above.
Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be starting next week. Notices with the date and time of your conference went home a couple of weeks ago in your child's folder. If you are unsure of your date and time, please send me an email and I will send you a reminder notice via email (ledgerton@cesvt.net).
Conferences are 20 minutes long. Please arrive at your scheduled time as I will have to stick to the time frames in order to fit everyone in during the week.

Reader’s Workshop
With our day off on Monday and a snow day on Tuesday our week was a little off. We were able to talk about a new reading strategy this week..."Stretchy Snake". The children are working on stretching out the sounds of words they don't know in books and when they are writing. This is a skill we will work on all year. We have a couple of books missing from our classroom. If you happen to see either of the books that are pictured below at your house, please send them back to school with your child. Thank you!
Writer’s Workshop
Our writing is certainly moving along. The children are working on putting spaces between their words so that it is easier for others to read their writing. They are also learning to use their environment to help them spell tougher words. They are looking around the room if they are stuck on a word to help them find a word that starts the same or sounds similar in order to get their word started.
Morning Meeting
GREETING: Beach Ball Toss
ACTIVITY: Sparkle (a spelling game)
Theme Time
We finished our Forces and Motion unit this week. The children had a great time using force to make things move. They enjoyed moving through different center activities to explore different materials and how strong forces and light forces could make different materials move on different surfaces.
Math Lessons
Our focus on shapes continued this week. Our calendar focus this month is on 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. We are exploring cubes, cylinder, spheres and cones. After vacation, we will continue work with addition and subtraction as well as teen numbers.
