Welcome Back!

Today we began our new schedule. There were some minor changes, such as
library on Monday and gym in the afternoon. The kids did a great job of
adjusting. We practiced numbers to ten and created some compound words
(catfish, starfish, blackberry, etc). We also visited the library and
gym today. Have a great day!

A Soggy Monday!

Today we listened to a reader's theater group from first grade read
"Country Mouse, City Mouse". We also practiced writing numbers to ten.
We discussed and journaled about what we are thankful for and visited
the music room. We will have library tomorrow. Remember, fundraiser
items are available for pickup today after school. Have a great day!

Today we practiced reading our new take home book "We Go". The kids did a great job of reading their new words (go, up, down). We also reviewed numbers in math and told turkey stories with our reader pals. The kids visited the music room and the gym today. Have a great weekend!

Today we worked on letter writing, counting, and journaling. The kids
are learning that in kindergarten, they do not need to spell like the
dictionary. They just do their best to sound out a word. I will not
correct them. I always have them read their journal to me, rather than
reading it myself. I explain that it is sometimes hard for grownups to
read kindergarten writing. They are doing well with this! Have a great
day!

Some hard-working kids!

Today we worked on rhyming, numbers to ten, and journaling. We visited
the gym and music rooms today. This afternoon, we were able to view the
book fair. The children enjoyed looking at the books and created a 'Wish
List', which will be available to you during the book fair hours. They
worked very hard today! Have a great, sunny, day!

rhyming pages we completed as a group. We also started a new chapter in
math about numbers 6 thru 10, and we completed centers. The children

about past technology and how life has changed over the last 100 years.
Have a good day!

What a soggy Friday!

Today we learned three new quick words (this, it, no) and practiced

pals stopped by and we also completed centers. Have a great weekend!

Have a Great Weekend!

Today we worked on numbers 0-5 and practiced the words 'big', 'have', and 'small'. We also practiced using periods and question marks at the end of a sentence. We met with reader pals and made some fun scarecrows to decorate the halls with. Have a safe and healthy weekend!

I am back...Well for a day!

Hello! After being gone for two days, I returned to a class that had
done well for the substitute teachers. The kids have been working on
their numbers to 5, decorating the room for harvest, and practicing
letters Uu thru Ww. I will unfortunately be gone again tomorrow. The
children will be working on letter X, counting, numbers to 5, and
coloring for harvest. They will also visit the computer lab. I will
finish the quarter testing on Friday and prepare everything for
conferences as well. Information about report cards and conferences will
be sent home soon. I will be back on Friday and hopefully my family will
be healthy and rearing to go!
