Kindergarten - Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Strell

Wow, it is hard to believe that Spring is officially here…the kindergarten students look forward to going outside for recess and a breath of fresh air! It is also hard to believe that we have finished the third quarter; the kindergarten children are working very hard getting ready for first grade.
In Reading/Phonics the children continue to build their word wall and are reading simple stories! In Math, we are modeling addition and subtraction equations and solving word problems with a variety of manipulatives. In Science, we learned how a rainbow is made and had fun making one with a prism. In Social Studies, we keep track of the number of days we had ”lion” weather and “lamb” weather on our calendar.  We worked hard learning the difference between a map and a globe.  We even learned about a compass rose.  We also reviewed and practiced our tornado drill, fire drill.  We even had a lockdown drill with Garfield Heights Police present.
 
In Religion we are learning about Lent.  During Lent we are reminded that each one of us is a child of God. Jesus sacrificed his life to show how much he loves us and now it’s our turn to show our love for Him by making sacrifices and trying to be a better person. The children received a calendar of good deeds to help them better themselves during the 40 days of Lent.
The KA and KB children wish all of you a Happy Spring!
