Hello!
It was great seeing everyone at Open House.  We had a busy week in Kindergarten.  Here are some things that are happening in class.

During reading workshop we learned that good readers...

• point to pictures to help tell the story
• look at details of the pictures
• think about how the character is feeling
• notice the action in the pictures

In writing workshop we learned that good writers...

• independently get and use their writing tools
• keep their writing in a folder
• think of an idea before writing
• add action to their story

In math we are continuing to sort/classify objects, people, clothing, shapes, food etc.  Please take time to sort things at home!

During word study we practiced using our notebooks for word sorts.  We will continue to work on our center "routine." The initial assessment is complete and students started working in small groups. 

We are learning to be part of a kindergarten community and have talked about our feelings and expected vs. unexpected behaviors in the classroom!

Have a great weekend!
