I hope everyone enjoyed the extra day off yesterday! At least the weather was beautiful! I, on the other hand, did not have the day off as I was representing Westwood at the DOE’s annual Kindergarten Networking Conference in Marlborough. The Keynote speakers were very interesting to listen to and I saw great examples of non-fiction writing done in Kindergarten classrooms around the state. I also attended a workshop on blogging to keep up school/family communication! It made me feel good to know that I’m at the forefront of using this technology to communicate with parents.
Well, thankfully, the water damage did not effect our classroom so other than having some specials displaced this week (Phy. Ed. will be outside today, library will be in our classroom on Friday), KM is not really impacted much at all. Miss Hadalski talked to the whole school this morning about the damage and they were instructed not to touch any of the special “drying out” equipment around the building.
We are beginning a small unit on money this week in Social Studies. Today we learned a Money poem that goes like this:
Five pennies make a nickle
Two nickels make a dime
Two dimes and a nickel
Make a quarter every time.
Four quarters make a dollar
And that is quite a lot
And a dollar is exactly
How much money I have got!
