Snip-its of School

Some kindergarten photos shared from Kip's teacher lately.

Every Friday is "Fun Friday" and the kids get a little bit of time in the afternoon to just play. Kip's teacher has a little play kitchen in her classroom. Kip is playing house with the girls.

Lightbox fun!

Reading group working on their journals

Valentine's themed centers work.

Groundhog's Day

 

Drawing their shadows on the wall of the school

100 Day!

And Valentine's Day 

Some sort of oral hygiene theme for centers the week after Valentine's.

And look at that face of concentration doing his journal in reading group.

Remember when we were kids and computers were just starting to become a thing they had to teach about? At my elementary school there was a computer room and it was a specials class. Giant desktops were where we learned how to use a keyboard. Now the kids are given personal Chromebooks to use in the classroom. Kip is already a master at the touch-pad mouse. Crazy times.

Did you know March 10 is Mario day? Get it? MAR-10!

 

Despite the excessive amount of absences Kip has had, he is managing to stay on track. Thank goodness! 

And yes, we are aware Kip is using an improper pencil grasp. However, he has amazing penmanship so his teacher said, as long as it isn't limiting his ability to write legibly we can let him write however he feels most comfortable and hopefully his hand muscles will continue to strengthen and the grip will correct itself with time.
