Welcome Back!
What a joy it is to be back in class with my kindergarten friends! These first two weeks have found us busy with learning all of the ins and outs of kindergarten but we’ve made sure to squeeze plenty of fun in too! The highlight of our first week was the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree building challenge. Students worked with a partner to plan and build a coconut tree that would hold up all of their letters. There were lots of unsuccessful plans and quite a few “boom booms” as letters fell but the class learned that each plan that doesn’t work just gets you closer to the one that will! I loved seeing them work together to solve a problem and show persistence when things weren’t going their way. They loved getting to be loud and make a mess!
