What We Have Been Learning:

Bible: After reviewing the story of Christmas and remembering Jesus’ cousin John, we read the story of Jesus being baptized. This happened before Jesus began his major moments of ministry in the New Testament. Once again, it is amazing to see God’s work in the details. Now is a good time to reflect on baptisms that have taken place in your families and churches and have connecting conversations with your kindergartner.

Daily 5: We cleaned out all of our old books and chose new ones for reading. I took this picture to show the large number of books the kids have already read this year. We will go through many many more!

Word Wall: this was added to a, at, and, am, go, here, I, is, look, like, me, see, the, up, we

Phonics: We listened for beginning and ending sounds in words.

Science: We are learning about motion. We started our study by going sledding! When we came inside we drew plans for constructing ramps in our classroom and then built them. We experimented putting different things down and compared how items slid down.
