Dear Families,
Our kindergartners sure had fun during today’s field trip to Kroger and Lifetime Fitness. First we loaded up the school bus and headed to Kroger.
While exploring Kroger, our kindergartners reviewed many of the different social studies concepts we have been learning in class such as needs/ wants and goods/services. After our tour of the Kroger store, the students “synergized” into small learning groups while completing their social studies journal.
Then we boarded the bus and headed to Lifetime Fitness where our class had to teach Mrs. Stetz’s class different “pushes and pulls” stations. The students used balloons, racquets, scooters, hockey sticks, and bean bags to demonstrate their understandings of pushes and pulls.
The kindergartners loved the rock climbing wall. Take a look at these awesome climbers!
Thanks to Maryam’s dad, Levi’s mom, Enna’s mom, Dominic’s mom and dad, MacKenzie’s mom, Aston’s mom, Jake’s dad, and Noah’s mom. You helped us so much! A special kudos to Aston’s mom (aka traci lovasz photography) for capturing these precious moments of this amazing class!

Dear Families,
You may have already heard the exciting news but if not, here is it. This afternoon after music, a mysterious letter and package was left in our classroom. Of course, the students and I had to open them both up right away. Here is a look at the note.
So the students voted on the name of our newest member in our classroom. His name is Elfie!
After I came back from dismissing everyone outside I found Elfie had already found some friends. They had done “word work” and was practicing their words of the week! Imagine that! I think Elfie will fit in with our class!
A few other things:
That is all for now!
Ms. Wright and Elfie
Dear Families,
We had a great time at our Red Wing assembly this morning. In fact, our very own Maggie got up on stage and won a Red Wing Water bottle!
After the assembly, we turned in our hockey jerseys for our science lab coats. I posed the question to the kindergarten scientists “which car will go down the ramp the fastest?” The scientists got into small groups and made ramps out of blocks to observe and race the four different cars.
Next, we tied in our Writer’s Workshop with the car race and wrote our opinions about which car would win the race.
After lunch, we actually tested out the four cars in each of the four lanes. And the winner was…….
the green car! It won every time! Here are some of our hypotheses:
A special thanks to Trevor Kleczynski who loaned his favorite car ramp in honor of science!
We ended our big day with our Cookie Reward!
Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s social studies lesson. The students worked in small groups deciding whether things were “needs” or “wants.” All I can say is that there were some very interesting conversations! Please discuss with your child about needs and wants at home. Our definition of a need is something that we need to live or survive. Our definition of a want is something you would like to have.
Until next time…
Ms. Wright
Dear Families,
Our class will be attending a Red Wing Assembly tomorrow. If possible, please have your child wear either Lindbergh red or a Red Wings shirt. Go Red Wings!
Thanks!

Dear Families,
A huge thank you goes to Evan’s grandma who made our class the coolest Pete the Cat and Pigeon Take-Home bags! We love them!
As a class, we went over the procedure of what to do when the bag travels home. Please make sure that everything gets place back in the bag. The bag needs to be returned the next school day.
Noah and Enna were excited to be the first ones chosen to take Pigeon and Pete home!
Thanks to Ali’s mom for bringing in a delicious treat for Ali’s birthday. The kindergartners really enjoyed the warm cup of hot chocolate and doughnut hole. Happy Birthday Ali!
Have a great Thanksgiving Day and I will see you on Monday!
Ms. Wright
