Welcome to Miss Brose's Kindergarten Class website!

We are so excited to welcome our students back for Trinity's 70th school year! 

On this website you will be able to find a recap of what we learned the previous week, upcoming important dates and reminders, homework assignments, and resources for parents such as the school calendar and handbook.

Recap of what we learned last week:

Aug. 14th - Aug. 17th

Thanks to everyone who came out for Back to School Night on Thursday evening. It was wonderful to see so many students excited to show their families around our classroom!

We had Friday, Aug. 18th off for Hawaii Statehood Day.

Bible Study - We learned the story of The Fall into Sin from Genesis chapters 3 and 4

            Central Truth - Humankind's rebellion broke the holiness and perfection God created in us. God immediately acted by promising a Savior to rescue us from our sins and by preserving His people until that Savior came.

            Grade Level Truth - Because Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they had to leave the garden. We sin daily too, but God continues to love His people so much that He gave us a Savior to take away our sins. 

ELA - We continued practicing our positional words like left, right, above, below, on top of, underneath, in front of and behind. We also begin working on the "grown-up" names for the lines that we use when writing letters and drawing shapes. We reviewed vertical lines (going from top to bottom) and horizontal lines (going from left to write) and learned curved lines (start at the top and curve to the left) and diagonal lines (start at the top then slide to the left or start at the top and slide to the right). We also worked on our "pinch and tuck" pencil hold. 

Math - We continued our unit about different ways that we can sort a group of items. For example we could sort by color, size, shape, type of item. After practicing sorting collections we learned that in Kindergarten we have to be able to show our work so that meant we had to draw our sorted collections on our math pages, We talked about how math pictures do not need lots of details but we do want to make sure we use the correct colors for the things we are drawing. We also worked on comparing the groups that we created to see which group had the most or the fewest.

Science - We continued our study of the five senses. We focused on the sense of smell and how there are odor molecules all around us. In order for us to smell the odor molecules travel up our nostril to our smell receptors. The smell receptors communicate with the brain and that tells us what we are smelling. We also learned about the importance of mucus in our nostrils and how to correctly get rid of some when we have too much in there (blow our nose instead of pick it)
