As a wrap-up to the week, Kindergarten's Character Strong lesson was to do a feelings checkup for the week. Each student was able to circle their feeling for the week and also to explain their feelings (if they wanted to). This lesson taught us that there are many different feelings and emotions that we all have.
Patterns, patterns and more patterns! Kindergarten did a "patterns walk" to see the pattern that each student created. We then repeated the patterns aloud to help us remember that patterns repeat, repeat, repeat!
