Garrett Gazette


THIS WEEK

This week in Kindergarten we focused on Spiders.  On Monday,  we began our discussion of Spiders by sharing what our Schema was for Spiders and we added to our chart as we discovered new learning.   We are continuing to learn about making connections and created a “spider web”   to share how all of our connections help our own schema grow.   We read many fiction and non-fiction Spider books this week – our favorite being The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle. 

We completed our Math Assessments this week and are looking forward to beginning our Math Unit on Patterns.
