Kindergarten - October 2025

Kindergarteners have had a busy month! The children continue to work hard and grow every day. We had our first field trip to Deal’s Orchard in Jefferson. We toured the orchard and apple sorting and processing plant, had a picnic, played in the apple acres, and each child got to pick an apple and a pumpkin. 

Our Forest Fridays have been incredible so far. This month, the weather was lovely. We learned about trees and had fun exploring the Oak Woods area in Upper Ledges. We are learning the hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth" and practice thanking God for his beautiful world.

Calendar continues to be a big part of our morning routine. The children are working on counting how many days we have been in school by ones, fives, and tens, and learning to spell months and days of the week. We recognize and continue patterns, chart weather, and practice our handwriting in personal calendar notebooks.

In Literacy, we are working hard on learning letter sounds. We’re practicing writing our first names correctly and working hard on improving our handwriting. 

For Math this month, we have been learning about numbers 1-10. We’ve counted them, written them, tallied them, and built them!

In Science, we have been learning all about pumpkins- their parts and their life cycle. Every “Walking Wednesday,” we take a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy God’s creation. We work on our walking-in-line skills and on observing the world around us. 

In Religion, we have been learning about God’s promise to Abraham and his family, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph. We have also been studying Martin Luther and the Reformation.
