Getting to Know Each Other!

Dear Wonderful Kindergarten Parents and Students,

Welcome to Kindergarten 2020-2021! Although it is sad, we aren’t able to go back to our typical physical school routine at the moment, we are so happy to see everyone’s smiling face on Google Meet every day. Our first unit of inquiry, Who We Are, is about family and ourselves. During this unit, students have been learning how to develop new routines, are identifying members of their home community, are learning about new people in their school community, and are forming new relationships with friends.

This term we had a special event, Independence Day. We celebrated our first Independence Day together by wearing red and white clothes in a joint Google Meet class. Students had two different activities about Indonesia. In the first session, students were shown various Indonesia traditional snacks. We then drew the snacks and ate them together to build social and communication skills. In the second session, we watched a video of an Indonesia flag raising ceremony and sang Indonesia Raya together. Even though we did all the activities virtually, students showed engagement through verbal and written response while participating in all the activities. We had such a fun, patriotic time demonstrating international-mindedness!

Love,

Kindergarten Teachers
