Today the Hedgehogs celebrated Dot Day. We read the story “The Dot” and Ss crated their own Dot Art masterpieces. “Just make a mark and see where it takes you!” 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣 St. Monica School #MONmoments #ocsbArts Peter H. Reynolds

In Kinder, Ss learn to identity their emotions & how to as self-regulate. They learn how to bring themselves back to the green zone with the use of different tools. The class Zen Den is a safe place for our Hedgehogs work on this. ♥️ St. Monica School #MONmomemts #ocsbBeWell

Cleaning up the block area is always a task, but with the use of a visual of how the blocks should be placed on the shelf, it has helped our Hedgehogs achieve success during clean-up time. ✨ Way to go, Hedgehogs! 🦔 ♥️ St. Monica School #MONmoments

We read the book *Sorting* and explored different ways to organize materials. After discussing sorting strategies, students had fun applying their own sorting rules to categorize various shapes! St. Monica School #ocsbMath

We're sharpening our printing skills with a fun Roll & Write letter game! 🎲✏️ Not only are we practicing letter formation, but we're also building math skills as we count and compare our rolls! St. Monica School #ocsbLiteracy #ocsbMath

Today Bunnies participated in a vote about apples. Each student participated in voting and used their name tag to help us keep track of the votes. 🗳️ After voting we counted & tallied both columns. 🍎 St. Monica School #MONmoments #ocsbMath #ocsbKindergarten Morgan Kelahear
