Kindie Korner Adventures

Yesterday we began investigating polar bears.  A mysterious letter arrived in our classroom and we are now working on figuring out what is troubling the polar bears.  For some reason, they are running low on food and we want to help them.  Through this inquiry unit we will learn about asking good questions, how to find answers to our questions, and hopefully we learn something about polar bears along the way as well!

A few things we have learned so far are:

-polar bears live in the north

-polar bears have hollow hair, not fur

-polar bears have black skin under their hair

God sure did an amazing job creating polar bears and giving them ways to stay warm.  Today we also learned that the black skin holds in the heat from the sunshine to keep them warm.  One question we still need to find an answer to is “why is their hair hollow?”

Stay tuned for an answer to this, and many other questions as we investigate polar bears together this month!

With the new year come new experiences!  I would like to invite you to join us on Friday mornings for Family Friday!

For the first 15 minutes of the day on Fridays, I would like to invite you, or whoever may be dropping off your kindergarten child, to come in to the classroom and spend some time with us!  We would love to show our Bravo Badges, and the art we have on our walls.  We would also love to have you read to us!  If you are able to join us, we would love to have you.  If you come and notice students who don’t have a special person with them, I would so appreciate it if you could welcome some of those ones to join you and your child.

We are excited about what we have been doing in Kindergarten and would love to be able to show you!  We hope you can come!

Younger siblings are welcome to join in with the reading too but please keep an eye on them.  The goal is to read, not play, at this time.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
