Hiking field trip

 We hiked on a path and explored various trees, leaves, acorns, and bugs.

This week in kindergarten.

 All lined up and ready for the hall! We had a busy week learning about our new letters c and o. We learned a new sight word: we. We read several books about animals and how they move. It was a great week!

 Building numbers trains with connecting cubes.

 Using links to build numbers.

 Some numeral writing practice.

 Using dry erase boards to practice letters.

Playing a dice number writing game.

Writing in response to our story.

Story retelling

We are working with the book What About Bear? The story talks a lot about friendship. Today we did story retelling on the ActivBoard.

Pizza Hut literacy center

 The students have been very interested in dramatic play. We transformed a space in our classroom for a Pizza Hut themed center. We added many items to promote literacy, such as menus, receipts, gift cards, and ordering forms. The children have been building on their social skills as they work to take turns and share.

Fun Friday Math Stations

Environmental Print

Thank you to all of you who sent in popular labels from around your home. The children have been enjoying reading this display wall! We will be doing a writing station with these labels this upcoming week.

Mystery name painting

 Today we practiced writing our names multiple times on a white sheet of paper. Then our names magically appeared when we watercolor painted over it!

 Many children are still working on name writing skills and fine motor control. We are learning how to hold our pencil and write properly. Glad we could make it fun today!!! School work is always better with paint!
