Kindergarteners are exploring the world of zoology in ELA by reading and writing about different animal groups, including wild and domestic animals. In math, we are practicing counting, writing, and comparing numbers up to ten. We've also been learning about Election Day and the voting process, with students casting their own votes for their favorite animals and books. As we approached Veterans Day, we discussed the qualities of heroes and what it means to serve. In anticipation of Thanksgiving, students are sharing what they're thankful for while learning about the history and traditions of the holiday, all while looking forward to our upcoming feast!

The fall season brings ripe apples from many of eastern Long Island tree farms. On Sept. 26, kindergarten students in Anne Culhane’s class celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day to honor the American pioneer/farmer who spread apple trees across the country.

The students first learned about this pioneer who was born in 1774 in Massachusetts as John Chapman. They crafted colorful apple hats to celebrate the day and then gathered around the table to collectively make applesauce.

It will surely be a day the kindergarteners will remember among their educational experiences.
