Hello Families,
We had another fantastic week in Kindergarten! Each day we discover a little bit more about our classroom. During reading workshop we have been talking about good reading habits. We have practiced sitting hip to hip with a reading buddy. We look at the cover of the book and think to ourselves “What will the story be about?”
Everyone did a wonderful job creating their heart for their writing folder. I hope they will help generate creative ideas during writing workshop. This week we talked about how good authors think of a story, draw their story, and then write their story.
In math, we are sorting and classifying objects. We have been looking for similarities between objects, and then deciding which objects don’t belong.
During social studies we discussed expected behavior in Kindergarten. We talked about being part of a safe and friendly community. We came up with some really good rules, so we posted them in our classroom.
1. We are kind and caring friends.
2. We raise our hand to share ideas.
3. We always do our best work.
4. We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
5. We remember to have fun while we learn!
REMINDERS:
· Open House will be on Thursday September 22 from 7:35-8:05.
· Please send in an Art smock if you haven’t already.
· Please send in a weather appropriate change of clothes. These are not just for “accidents.” Sometime the playground is wet, or spills happen, and students don’t want to stay in damp clothes all dayJ
Have a wonderful weekend!
