The winter winds and cool temperatures came just in time for our kindergarten classes to bundle up and head out for some holiday caroling. Today we continued the season of giving with getting to know our neighbors at Winston Park, who welcomed us with applause and smiles.
In the classroom we are continuing our writing unit on pattern stories. Who is...has become a popular lead that has offered many different versions. Titles such as, Who's Playing with My Toys?, It's Christmas Time, and My Arctic were shared today. In the author's chair, the writer first reads his or her story and then calls upon classmates who offer a compliment or ask a question. We added a shelf of baskets for our completed books and look forward to a writing celebration after the winter break.

Here's our homework for the two week winter break: Have fun! Be safe! Don't get sick!

Happy Holidays!
