This week we continue to become better at reading storybooks. I have modeled reading so many storybooks and now students are reading more and more of the exact words to their partners. Students are looking to find the exact words on the page too. It is so exciting to see them read these books to their partners, even when they can't read yet.
Center Time! We worked on building words, reading our storybooks, learning letter sounds and sight words, and even painted rainbows to round out color week!
Brain Break! Practice counting to 100 and dancing to Go Noodle!
In math this week, we worked on 7 and 8! We played many games on the SmartBoard and with our partners. We counted far beyond 8 too! KG students have a strong number foundation already. We start math with calendar every day, making sure we con growing our confidence in months, days and year!
During snack time this week, we watched some classic storybooks including The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Gingerbread Man, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Corduroy.
Students have lots of choices this week during choice time. This week, they were allowed to play OSMO (making words) and other reading apps. Some played legos and some played together with kinetic sand.
Today, the kindergarteners had a special time meeting with the fourth grade students from Mrs. Harrison's class to celebrate their writing so far. The fourth graders sat and looked through their writing pieces and wrote compliments for them and created a few goals. The fourth graders were so great with our class and we are do thankful for them to come help us become better writers.
