Kindergarten Life!

We continue to learn more about each other and grow as a family of kindergarteners (yes, my own family refers to me as a "kindergartener"!)!!  Each day we learn academics but more than that we learn about the love and grace of Jesus as we spend 7 hours together each day.  Some days are challenging as we try to figure out how to listen to and obey teachers, how to get along with our classmates, where our pencil boxes go and how to get our folders ready to go home (and so much more!).  Each day has its challenges but so many more joys to celebrate together! Today we learned about "Exploration Boxes" (Did you see our Periscope?!?!) and how to roll dice and fill in the right line that matched the dice number.  We are enjoying math manipulative and recesses.  Life in kindergarten is great!!

Marvelous Monday!

We had our very first Monday of kindergarten and it went pretty well!  We have PE in the morning and STEM Education in the afternoon so that helps break things up.  We met Mr. C (Cotton Candy) and Cass, our first Superkid who will help us learn to read.  Pattern blocks were a favorite in math class (thank you for joining us on Periscope today!) and we learned about the creation of the world by our great and wonderful God!

I hope to post a few pictures later this week as well as continue to Periscope.  I'm so pleased that so many of you are able to catch a glimpse of our classroom through Periscope and I'm super excited that so many of you have helped grandparents and other family to connect as well!  Have a great week in Jesus!

Our First Day!!

We had a wonderful first day today!!  I'm so glad so many of you joined us via Periscope!!  Wasn't it fun to see your little one in school?! Your little one should be plenty tired tonight!   I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Here's a short video I made this summer about a day in the life of a kindergartener.  Enjoy - especially the smiling faces and the music!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

It's an exciting time of year for all of us and I welcome you to Concordia Academy kindergarten!  It's was nice to meet a few of the new little ones at the park on Tuesday!  We played a bit and then walked to the nursing home we will be visiting.  We met some of the Grandmas there.  I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of you very soon!!
