Leaders

Hi Families :)
Kindergarten students have been learning all about leaders including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and President Obama. We have been doing writings and different activities to learn about different leaders. We also are learning what it takes to be a leader.

We practiced learning our numbers 1-100 by making a 100's chart look like Abe Lincoln! Here is the results on the Smartboard and some from the students!

We also read books about Abe Lincoln. They did a writing about him and made a log cabin! The Kindergarten students learned about how he lived in a log cabin, was the 16th president, how he wore a black top hat, and so many more facts about Abe Lincoln. The next day we decided to make another log cabin using pretzels and marshmallows.

This week we will be focusing on how each student can be a leader and what makes each student special.
We are enjoying each and every student! Thank you for trusting us with your child(ren).
