Table Tubs

Each morning we have table tubs waiting for the kids. The tubs rotate from table to table during the week and are one of the favorite things each day.  On Monday, a new set of table tubs are brought out. 

The free play gives the kids a chance to use their imagination, work on fine motor skills, communicate with friends, work on sharing and using manners, and is a great opportunity for screen free play.  If you have any small toys or games that can be played in groups of 4-5 and no longer want them, we can definitely put them to good use in our classroom.

Grandparent Day

 We loved being able to celebrate Mass with our Grandparents! The kids gave tours around the school, proudly showed off the Brilliant Bee classroom, and created a Family Tree craft.  I apologize that I wasn't able to get photos of everyone, it was a busy morning.

Math Time

We do a lot of group and partner work in kindergarten.  It's a great and fun way to learn, as well as work on cooperation, listening skills, teamwork, conversation, etc.  Recently we worked in partners to build 10 Frames with playdoh. The kids took turns calling out numbers and the rest of the class built them on the ten frame cards. Plus playing with playdoh helps to improve fine motor skills in our hands and arms.

 

Holy Family Houses

 This past week, kindergartners received by their Houses!  The kids were so excited and couldn't wait to find out which House they would be placed in. We had a big school assembly just for this special moment!

Rainbow Fish

     This week, we've been learning about friendship through the Rainbow Fish books.  On Friday, we created our very own Rainbow Fish. We had a lot of fun coloring our own fish and adding shimmer scales.  You can see them hanging up in our kindergarten hallway.

First Week of School 2026

      This year's Brilliant Bees are off to an amazing start!  We're learning how school works, working on transitioning throughout the day, making friends, and so much more.

    This week, our reading theme was all about friendship. We read a lot of Rainbow Fish stories and Little Critter Shares. We know that sharing and using kind words helps us to make friends and be a good friend. 

    We started our ABC Boot Camp to review our letters. This week, we introduced A, B, C, and D. We talked a lot about words that begin with those letters and practiced writing them. We also started our Number Boot Camp and have been working on the numbers 1-3.
