Healthy Food!

 This week was different than any other week I've ever had in Kindergarten!  We split the class in half, and I only got to see half of the class in person for two days of the week... Thank you so much for supporting your child at home the other half of the week!  Packets and Chromebooks going home seemed to work pretty smoothly. And one thing is for sure, we sure enjoyed our two days together in the classroom!  

We have lots of spontaneous teaching and fun moments throughout the day in Kindergarten, so not everything is going to be exactly the same.  But that being said, I do try to make everything as equitable as possible between the two groups.  

We had fun dressing up Mr. Bones for Halloween!  He has been in our classroom while we study the human body this month!

We took some time to be curious and come up with some questions we had about our bodies.  We will endeavor to answer these questions during our body unit!

We began learning about healthy food and nutrition. We sorted food into different food groups, and then took a trip to the greenhouse to pick some fresh vegetables.  The Monday/Tuesday class will be going to the greenhouse on Monday, and we will make a healthy treat with the veggies that we pick next week, too!

We had fun making a Caprese salad appetizer with the tomatoes and fresh basil that we picked!  One sad note: You know you are an adult when olives don't fit on your fingers anymore... :(. 

You may notice a new face in some of these pictures!  We are so happy to have our new Kindergarten aide, Jocelyn, with us for the whole school day!  She is from the Phillippines, and we are also excited to learn more about the Phillippines from her this year!  Welcome, Jocelyn!
