Ms. Malinis's students participated in a Career Scavenger Hunt today as a way to wrap up their Community Workers theme. Great job, friends!
Mrs. Rowland's students learned about dentists today. They practiced counting teeth, rolling a number cube to determine the number of cavities, and then made sure to brush all of the plaque away to have healthy teeth and a great smile!
Happy Halloween from Ms. Malinis's students! We hope everyone has a fun and safe day.
A few more pictures from Mrs. Rowland's fun Character Day!!
A few more pictures from Ms. McLaughlin's Character Day celebration. And great job with the "Z's," Zaria!!
Ms. McLaughlin chose to celebrate Character Day by dressing up as a construction worker, as our preschoolers just spent a few weeks learning all about community workers and careers! Her student, Josiah, made some great ghosts to share today as well.
Check out the mid-afternoon Character Day fun from Mrs. Rowland's and Ms. Davis's classes!
It's Character Day! Here is a sneak peak at how some of our students and staff have characterized themselves as today.
Ms. Davis's students have been learning about our upcoming Presidential election and voting. They then had an opportunity to participate in their own vote for Class President. They chose between Clifford the Big Red Dog and Splat the Cat. Click on the pictures to see the winner!
Families are having a "Ball in the Fall" this week with the slime and painting activities. While the inclement weather may have kept families indoor earlier this week, it has been great to see families step away from "screen time" to engage in fun family activities.
Ms. Malinis's students worked hard this week on the letter of the week (Ee) and number of the week (9) by drawing elephants and writing the number 9. Great job, friends!
Mrs. Rowland's class engaged in a step-by-step drawing activity of Pete the Cat. Pete the Cat is a favorite book character among the students at Algonquin. Great job, friends!
Families: We are in need of a picture of your child for a snow globe craft for our winter program. Please see the flyer for more information.
As Ms. Davis's students are learning about elections and presidents, they are generating ideas for what they would do if they were President. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, friends!
Imagine our surprise to look out of the window today to discover snow falling! Ms. Malinis's students drew pictures of today's weather; thank you, Shamyra, for sharing your snow picture with us!
Ms. Malinis sure knows how to end her week on a FUN note! Today her students participated in a toy scavenger hunt. Great job, friends. We love seeing your smiles and your awesome toys.
