Kindergarten - January 2026

January has been another fun month in Kindergarten! We have focused on snow in both Art and Science. We learned how snow forms and that it always has 6 sides, designed our own snowflakes, cut snowflakes out of coffee filters, and made colorful snowflakes with glue, salt and watercolors. 

Kindergarteners start memory work in the 2nd semester, so we are working hard on our first verses. 

We have learned the sounds of all the letters in the alphabet! We are working hard on sounding out words and learning sight words. We have been learning to correctly form capital letters.

We are working on teen numbers and beyond in math. We have practiced counting them and writing them. We have been practicing with tally marks, place value, and addition.

Our calendar time every morning strengthens and reinforces both math and literacy skills. For math it includes counting by 1s, 5,s and 10s. We also work on patterns. For literacy we spell the names of months and days, with capital letters only at the beginning. 

We had a fun week celebrating National Lutheran Schools Week! I am so blessed to work in a Christian environment and share the love of Jesus with my students every day.
