Today we wish our dear friend Emerson a happy birthday! We hope you have a fabulous first day of being 5. It’s been a pleasure watching you learn and grow this past year!

With the end of September approaching, friends are already eager for the Halloween season. As such, our Halloween sensory bin, full of spiders, skeletons, cauldrons and bats, has been a popular choice for friends today.

Building towers was another common activity:

As was playing in the sandbox!

Kindergarten: Today our kindergarteners worked on one of our math FABs for the week, K.NS.10: Separate sets of ten or fewer objects into equal groups, using unifix cubes. Both Elizabeth and Elliott were given a group of cubes which they had to count and split into equal groups. They then recorded their work in their math journals. Groups of smaller numbers such as 10 and 4 were easily spilt, so we moved onto more challenging numbers like 14 and 16!

Elliott then chose to work with the cubes in a different way by making patterns.

Have a great day! –Jessica
