Friendship Salad

The first three days of school, our lessons focused on becoming familiar with our school, learning the rules and routines, and learning more about our classmates. We read lots of stories about starting school and kindergarten (e.g. Kindergarten Rocks, Pete the Cat: Rockin' in My School Shoes), took a tour of the school following clues from Pete the Cat, discussed our school-wide discipline system (PBIS), played name games, and much more! One of our favorite activities this week was the creation of a friendship salad. Each ingredient in the salad represented a part of a successful classroom. The large bowl represented our classroom, the cans of fruit represented children who are kind, hardworking, and great helpers, the marshmallows represented kind words shared in our class, and the yogurt represented the happiness we feel when we are in school. We all tried our friendship salad, and most of our friends thought it was tasty! We are looking forward to more fun activities - please view the SmileBox and comment below about your child's favorite part of our first week in Kindergarten!
