Last Friday we visited the Annandale fire station. It was a brisk walk...we are lucky to have the station so close to school! We saw the fire fighters in their full gear and were reminded of how to stay safe from fires. We also received a tour of the station and walked through a truck. Ask your child what they learned!

Our Forever Books

This fall we each brought in a special book from home...one that we have read over and over and have loved for many years. We call these books our "Forever Books". These books have shown us how important it is to read, read, read, to become a stronger reader. Here are our "Forever Books":

Our red, black, and white shone bright on Cardinal Pride Day! After the pepfest, we got our picture taken with the Cardinal. Click "play" below to hear our Cardinal cheer.

Fair Haven Farms

What a fantastic day we had at Fair Haven Farms! Sun and smiles were abound! The yummy fruit and corn maze were favorites of our trip. Check out some highlights below.

Our first writers' workshop unit focused on writing books about something real that has happened to us. We tried our best to get letters, words, and pictures on each page to help tell our story. On Wednesday we held our first of many writing celebrations. We raised our glasses of juice for a toast celebrating the authors we are becoming. Cheers! Here's to the many more book to be written this year!

Bubbles and Watermelon

During our first few weeks together, we enjoyed some outdoor fun with bubbles and watermelon. We have taken advantage of our nice fall weather while we can!

Our days are busy, busy, busy here in kindergarten! In case you missed it, below is the video shown at "Explore Kindergarten Night" last week. It highlights many of our daily routines.
