Happy Friday!
We have made it through our first full week! Students have been continuing to learn classroom routines and doing a fabulous job, I will add! This week we read Gloria and Officer Buckle. This book sparked a conversation around safety tips. Kindergartners generated some great ideas and came together to agree on some classroom rules.
Be kind and share with others!
Listen and follow directions!
Help keep our classroom and environment beautiful!
In literacy, we explored an array of stories around inclusion, embracing who you are, and why it's important to have classroom rules. Students learned or were reminded of Mat Mat. We used our wooden letter pieces to build him. Students continue to learn about curves and lines. Mat Man can help us when we are illustrating pictures and reminds us to add details to our drawings. During word work, we had fun matching objects that rhyme.
In math, we continue to explore different types of manipulatives, building our spatial awareness and fine motor skills. We began to do a counting jar activity where students will be given objects to count, identify, and write the number on a recording booklet.
Have you heard that our butterfly emerged from its chrysalis? Releasing a butterfly back into the wild is always a magical moment for the students and me. We waited patiently for 12 days. This week we have connected this to our organisms unit and discussed what the caterpillar/butterfly needs to survive.
Reminders:
*Please remind your child to bring a jacket each day. The mornings can be chilly and we go outside several times a day. Thank you!
*Please remind your child to return library books on Wednesdays.
