Our 1st Blue Day

Today we had our first Blue Day Spirit Assembly. It began with a school wide song promoting our Walk-A-Thon (sung to the tune of The Adams Family). Next, classes were awarded pizza parties as a reward for success in the PTA Membership Drive. Finally, Mrs. Paolinetti recognized students from each class for showing this month's life skill: CONFIDENCE. After the assembly, students were rewarded for their excellent performance in September with an extra 15 minute recess. HOORAY!!

We completed another Math Lesson today which centered around parts of a calendar and specifically the Days of the Week. We identified month, days, weeks on the calendar and then did a cut/paste activity to order the days of the week. Many students used the Days of the Week poster at the front of the class, others used the calendar, and still others sang themselves the days of the week song.

Today we also started Science. Students were given their "Kindergarten Science Notebooks" and assigned to groups. Each group was able to give themselves a team name that had something to do with their table color and science. Our science teams are: The Oranges, The Lemons, and The Blueberries. :) We will be keeping all of our records and observations in our Science Notebooks, which students will be able to take home at the end of the year.
