We love stepping out of the classroom for some outdoor learning!

A Lesson is Family Culture
Our first Family Culture Presentation was a great example for our kids. We are looking forward to learning about all our classmates.
Family Culture Presentations are assigned on Wednesday and given right after our morning meeting. Parents, siblings and family pets are welcome to join us. Visuals can be displayed on a poster or simply a collection of photos, drawing and captions sent to school in the home folder. I like being able to tape them up in our "Family Culture Window". Visuals can be turned in early on Monday for early viewing.

Mrs. K's Family Culture
Kindergarten Culture is one of sharing. Each week we will celebrate the culture of one of our peers. Stop by to see Mrs. K's family rules, responsibilities and how the Kurkinens have fun after school!
Your child's family culture will be posted in a window like the one above. It can be drawings, pictures and captions, lists, images...anything that helps us understand your family better.
Workstations Roll Out!
Seven centers, 27 activities ranging from painting, to playing, reading to writing...This is what we do when the teacher is reading with a small group!
Author's Chair
Kindergarten writing is an authentic experience. Kids write for someone to read. Everyday children get the chance to work one on one with Mrs. Kurkinen. They than get to read their work with the class. Every child get to the author's chair at least twice a week.
