Kindergarten - October 2026

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 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.

The 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 and recognize and continue patterns. 

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, built them!

In science we have been learning all about pumpkins. 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 Moses and the exodus. We have also been studying Martin Luther and the reformation.
