Stories
A fable is a short story, usually with animals as characters, that teaches a lesson. The lesson is known as the moral of the story, Watch the two different versions of "The Fox and the Crow." How are they alike? How are they different? How is the fox being tricky in this story?
Here is my book, The Snowgirl's Nose. Can you tell how the characters are feeling by looking at the pictures?
Science with Ms. Klimkosky
Hello Kindergarten Scientists! This week, I'm reading a story that I bet many of you will remember. What kinds of underpasses (animal tunnels) or overpasses (animal bridges) can you design at home? Grownups, my science read-alouds and more will be on my TCS Science webpage. Feel free to browse around. You can send any photos of your student's creations to me. I'm collecting shares from different grades and will make a slide show soon. klimkoskys@truromass.org
Stay happy, kind, and curious,
Ms. Klimkosky

Art with Ms. Possee |
Here's one of my favorite books for you to listen to.
Watch the video and think about how you can bring a little more beauty into the world. Draw a picture of Spring flowers which are starting to pop up around us outdoors. Upload a picture of it to Artsonia, our digital art gallery. Uploading is simple and instructions have been emailed home. If that seems too much, email the photo (or ?s) to me at posseek@truromass.org.

Gym with Ms. Estey
HelloTCS kindergarteners. Are you exercising and being healthy at home? I’m going outside in my yard to run every day, I hope you are also.
Here’s a game called Jump the Brook for you to try.
If you are inside and using a screen here is a link to a GoNoodle video. It’s called Run the Red Carpet. I think it’s really fun, I hope you do too.
Here’s a game called Jump the Brook for you to try.
- Find 2 things to use as line, maybe jump ropes or sticks.
- Put them about 1 foot apart to make a pretend brook.
- Run and jump over the brook with touching it.
- Move one of the lines farther away and jump.
- Keep moving the lines farther apart and see how far you can leap.
- Have fun.

Hello TCS kindergarteners, it’s Mrs.Estey here. I miss your smiles and your energy. I’m sure you can stay active at home! Can you find a safe space in your house to exercise and play? Ask a grownup to help you. Can you find a safe play area outside?
🏻♀️ 🤸🏻 ️ ♀️ 🛴 ⛹🏽♂️ 🧘🏽♀️
We love to play Lines and Spaces in the gym. Can you find a way to make lines in your yard or house? I used a jump rope and some sticks and some pinecones. Put a lot of space between the lines.
Now play! Run and run, when you come to a line LEAP over it. 🏽 Keep playing until you get tired, then see if you can walk and balance on the lines. ( be safe)
When you are done sit and do our pretzel leg stretch.🧘🏻♂️
Have fun!

Second Step with Ms. Winslow
Hello Kindergarten friends. Mrs. Winslow here! I am missing you all and hoping you are finding fun ways to spend your time while you are home with your families. I am having lots of different emotions. Sometimes I feel sad that I am not seeing all of you. Sometimes I feel bored because I am not sure what to do. Sometimes I feel excited because I get to spend more time at home with my family. I think you all must be having a lot of different feelings too! Watch this video and play along with the game!
Library with Ms. Roderick
Reading with Ms. White
Hi Kindergartners and Families!
Here are a few activities you can do at home with your child. Mrs, White
Play “I Spy” with your child but instead of a color say “I SPY something that starts with the /b/ sound or I spy something with these sounds /d/o/g/
Say a sentence aloud, ask your child to determine how many words.
Jump for sounds. Say a word and have your child jump for each sound in the word.
Alphabet Chart
Below is the alphabet chart that kindergartners use in the classroom!
Some ideas on how to use the chart!
Have your child point and say the letter name then the picture followed by the sound.
A (letter name), apple, /a/ (letter sound) B (letter name), bat, /b/ (letter sound)
C (letter name), cat, /c/ (letter sound) etc.
Have your child collect things/toys in your home that start with letters in the alphabet, see if you can come up with an item for each letter.
Build letters out of legos, playdough
Write letters with your finger on your child’s back and have them guess the letter. Have your child do the same to you.
Write letters on pieces of paper and put them in a paper bag. Let your child reach into the bag and take out the letters. Have your child say the sounds and match the letters.

Kindergarten at TCS
The kindergarten at Truro Central School uses developmentally appropriate materials and activities to teach the curriculum. Students explore concepts through play and active, hands on learning experiences .
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."
Mr. Rogers
"A happy childhood lasts forever"
