I cannot believe that it is 2016 and we have already had 4 months of school! With all the things that we have had going on in Kindergarten this year, I thought that it would be best to celebrate some of the things that we have discovered this year. I give you...the top 7 things that we have learned this year in Kindergarten!
1. We discovered that not only can we write our letters and small words...we are also real authors! We are spending our time in Writer's Workshop writing sentences, stories, letters, notes, and even instructions. It is our time to be creative, inventive, and practice everything that we have learned! We even get to share our work with our class!
2. We have learned just how special and fantastic our 8th grade buddies are! They help us in Mass, read with us, wrap presents with us, and we even get to do a science experiment with them every now and then!

3. We learned that sometimes things get a bit messy in Kindergarten...especially when you're doing science experiments! Whether we're making hypotheses about pumpkins or exploding apples, sometimes things get a bit messy.
4. We've discovered that math is done with more than just a pencil and paper. Sometimes we learn the best when we are using marshmallows, pattern blocks, and even our friends!
5. We have learned that being a bucket filler can help our bucket get full! Being kind, helping each other, and following directions is so much easier when our buckets are full! Once they are full, when can spread our joy and excitement all over NDA!
6. We love books! We have learned SO much about words, letters, and books. We are quickly becoming readers and are so proud of ourselves!
7. And lastly...we've learned just how special we all are! We have found out that sometimes it helps to have a friend there to help you. Our class is full of eager, excited learners who are always ready to discover something new.
2016 is off to such a wonderful start! We are learning about our new book bags, remembering our school routine, and reading real books now!
