First Few Weeks of School, September 2026
We haven't started our curriculums yet, but we have been reading and discussing books, and working on "jobs" related to them. We made crowns to become the kings and queens of Kindergarten, discussed and drew things we can do now that we couldn't before, and things we can't do YET but want to learn this year. We brainstormed things that we think everybody should do after reading What if Everybody Did That? and will use these to make our classroom rules.
We have been learning about the different areas and materials in our classroom, and how to use them. As we introduce different things, they become available for the students to use.
