We have been busy in Kindergarten and this update is long overdue! 



Community Helpers Unit (Social Studies)- November

The kids loved this unit! We learned about different jobs in our community.  Our guest speakers included a chef , Fire Dept. and  police officer.

We also  learned about doctors and set up a doctors office in our classroom.  The kids love this area and seem to have a lot of their own knowledge about IV's and breathing treatments. However, the funniest story yet... We have a board with x-rays. The students moved the board over the "hospital bed" and then had a student lay down. When I asked what they were doing, they looked at me like I should know and said " He's getting a scan!"  So I guess they also specialize in MRI's and CT scans :)


December-Holiday Celebrations

Is this month really over?! We were busy in kindergarten making and catching gingerbread men, learning the difference between needs and wants, and traveling on The Polar Express! I love their happy spirits during this month!

January-Winter and Snow

We are ready to be back after a refreshing break! The kids missed their friends and we had a great day sharing our vacation memories. It is going to take a week or so to get back into routine, so don't be surprised if you have an extra tired kiddo this week! We will ease back into everything as we are begin many new skills this month! 

Math- counting to 50 by 1's, reading #'s 1-20, greater/less than, word problems, graphing, counting by 5's, writing numbers 11-20.

Writing- publishing our first books! We will begin to look at basic editing skills as we continue to practice the writing process. 

Reading- Word families , syllables, CVC words (consonant, vowel, consonant), Sight words aka- "popcorn words",  vocabulary, and retelling stories.

Stay tuned for weekly updates on our blog! I will also be adding a class pictures link. popcorn words,  and other resources.
