Mrs. Bridgeman - Room 107 and Mrs. Hofbauer - Room 109 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from St. Ursula School's Kindergarten. What a beautiful bird!
Every day is packed with activity
for kindergarten. Our mornings are spent in math, reading, science, and
religion. Our afternoons consist of a number of specials.

Weekly workshop with summer style and sweet maple sugar
We are working with our hands and hearts for Jesus
Workshop has been great! The children enjoy the activities and love having their parents share the experience. Each week we have four stations dedicated to reinforcing concepts, we have covered in math, reading and science. The children are already sharing the joy of reading. Each week decodable books and phonics stories allow us to share what we have learned with our families. The children read the stories together at school. Then they are eager to take home their booklets and read them to anyone who will listen. Several stuffed animals have benefited from this sharing! Every day we begin and end our day with a prayer. In religion, the children are learning the Our Father and the Hail Mary. With the arrival of their rosaries, the children will use these prayers to honor the Blessed Mother throughout October, the month of the rosary. We encourage you to practice these prayers with your children at home. The Joy of Kindergarten What a terrific beginning to the new year! We have experienced such fun in learning at every turn. In MATH, even in this short time, we have learned so much. We have been working to recognize shapes, finding them all around us. We have been creating and discovering patterns and have been amazed at all the patterns in our surroundings. Reading Street has become our road to reading. For the past five weeks we have worked with the alphabet in achieving phonemic awareness. We have begun learning “amazing words “for our oral vocabulary and “frequently used words” for our reading vocabulary. Weekly we read and take home a phonics story and a decodable reader. We already have begun to love reading. Science has become one of the highlights of our week. We have worked with balance, sink and float, magnets, apples and mixing colors. There is so much to learn about the world.
In religion we have studied God’s
gift of that world to us. We have discussed the creation of this wonderful
world and how it meets our needs. With the coming of October, we have moved
into studying the Our Father and Hail Mary. The children are
excited to have their own rosaries to use daily in honoring Mary, Our Blessed
Mother, in the month of the rosary. In preparation for attending Mass in late
October, we will also be studying the parts of the Mass.
Each week the children look forward to going and using our new colorful and inviting library. What a thrill it is to see all the new additions! Books are constantly being added to the collection. We continue to be grateful to our parents who come weekly to help with workshop. The children already refer to the day as “Workshop Wednesday!” They are thrilled when the parents arrive to assist in the activities. Finally, kindergarten has joined the rest of the school in taking steps to a better future. With the arrival of pedometers, we are on the move!
