Hello JK Families,
With only a few days together this week, our Junior Kindergarteners made every moment count! We read The Gratitude Jar by Kat Liu, a story that opened the door to wonderful conversations about what it truly means to feel grateful. The children learned that gratitude can be found everywhere, in the people we love, in the places that bring us joy, and even in the small everyday moments that make us smile.
After our read-aloud, the children shared what they were grateful for, then drew their ideas and added them to our very own classroom Gratitude Jar. We all agreed to keep the jar going and continue filling it with thankful moments throughout the year. The children are off to a beautiful start:
- Brody: “My dog, cat, Mia, Mom and Dad.”
- Clara: “Willa.”
- Zuri: “For my Mom.”
- Ben: “Blue dude for Forsaken. My brother showed me how to draw it.”
- Destry: “Monster trucks, SpongeBob, and Patrick.”
- Donato: “My Mom, Dad, and dog.”
- Maverick: “My Dad and my Mom.”
- Audrey: “My doctor, Doctor Loren.”
- Abigail: “The Grinch. I like that movie.”
- Avery: “Mom and Dad because I love them.”
- Leland: “I’m drawing a smiley face.”
- Gemma: “Outside.”
- Archie: “Rainbows because I love rainbows.”
- Atticus: “Dragons.”
- Sebastian: “A pumpkin patch.”
- Levi: “The Grinch, my dinosaurs, the mall, Mamma, and Daddy.”
- Lennon: “My Momma.”
- Kemper: “Mom and Dad.”
- Lincoln: “Someday me and my Dad are driving our RC car.”
Turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, oh my! The children enjoyed a festive school Thanksgiving meal together, sharing laughter and sweet moments with their friends around the table. As we savored the holiday flavors, we also swapped stories about upcoming family traditions and all the fun the children are looking forward to over the break. It was the perfect way to kick off the season of togetherness and gratitude!
Have a wonderful break!
Miss Gina and Miss Liz
