A Sunny Sunny Day

The kids practiced writing their letters this morning, namely Hh, and
completed their first assessment worksheets. Today, we completed them as
a group just so the children could see what they were like and how the
directions worked. Next month, they will complete them as if they were
tests. This afternoon, the kids will be completing math practice and
creating Fall trees with different colored paper. Have a great day!

The kids had a practice fire drill this morning and visited the computer
lab. We also wrote letter Gg in our letter books and completed centers.
This afternoon, we will read a Fall story called Falling Leaves and
practice identifying leaves by their shape. Have a great day!

I love Fall!

The kids are doing a great job of writing their names and finishing
their work on time. We practiced these things this morning, as well as
wrote the letter Ff and completed a few pages from our reading
workbooks. The kids visited the gym and music rooms, and will now work
on making our first class book. The children will be able to read this
book whenever they have down time. It is called "Apples on Top" and it
correlates with the Dr. Seuss book with the same name. This afternoon,
the kids will read a Fall book, sort leaves by color, and practice more
math concepts about location words. We are really practicing right/left
hands. Have a great day!

Back to it!

The children worked hard this morning on letters, namely letter Ee, and
sounds. We also discussed nouns (person, place, animal, object) and
completed new centers. This afternoon, the kids will be completing
hearing/vision screening, starting our Fall unit, and practicing shapes
and sorting. Have a great day!

Yummy

The kids diligently cut apples this morning so we could make applesauce
for snack today. It should taste great! We also started our first
take-home book "The Park". We practiced the word 'the' extensively. We
will also visit the computer lab and have library and gym. This
afternoon, the kids will practice their math, and work with reader pals
to complete an apple book. Have a great weekend!

Picture Day

The kids had great smiles for their pictures today! It is fun to watch
their faces as they pose for the camera. This morning, we also practiced
letter Dd and completed centers. This afternoon, we will be closing our
apple unit and practicing math skills. Have a great day!

Yummy Apples!

The children worked hard this morning on their letters Aa thru Cc and
also toured the computer lab. This afternoon, we will be completing math
and having story. We will also be apple tasting today to see what color
apple is our favorite. Have a great day!

The children worked on writing letter A and B this morning. We are
trying to help them build up their finger muscles! We also completed
centers, visited the gym and music room, and decorated our memory books.
This afternoon, we will be working in our math books and reading an
apple poem. Have a great day!

Such great kids!

The children worked with a sub this morning while I finished testing. I
was glad to see them working hard and following the rules. This
afternoon, we will be starting a unit about apples. We will use apples
to discuss the sense of taste, how to graph, and read several apple
stories. We will also start a math unit about location words (above,
below, middle) and continue to discuss shapes as well. Have a great day!

It's Friday...Already?!

The kids did a fabulous job this morning with their routine. We
discussed rhyming words, the alphabet, and read a story about saying
sorry. They are currently in gym and library. Feel free to send your
child's library book back to school anytime next week. This afternoon,
the kids will read story and visit with their reader pals. During this
time, the kids will be practicing shape names. We will then work on some
more testing and have snack/playtime. Have a fabulous weekend!

The children have really settled into a routine and did a great job
today. We discussed shapes, colors, and writing letters. I have shown
the kids that when they make a letter, they do not start at the bottom
of the page, but the top or the middle. We also read Brown Bear by Eric
Carle and decorated our own story pictures. Have a great day!

The kids worked hard today and we were able to get through our entire
schedule. We discussed similarities and differences in our families. We
also discussed more above the line behaviors. The children visited the
gym and music room this morning. This afternoon, we discussed what would
happen if I was home sick (a sub would be in the classroom). Have a
great day!

Back to School...

Hello:)
The kids did a great job of jumping back into a routine today. They
took care of their morning jobs (hanging their coats, putting away their
folders, working at their tables) and listened to directions. We sorted
nouns today (person, place, animal, object) and drew self portraits. I
have also started testing the children on colors. We had gym and music
today as well. Have a great evening!

Have a Great Weekend!

The kids practiced more of their routines today. They did a very good
job of listening and following directions. We also discussed above the
line behaviors, visited the library, and met some of the sixth graders.
We will be pairing students with a sixth grade pal next week. Have a
wonderful weekend!

The children worked hard today and were able to remember some of the
routines we learned yesterday. We discussed above the line behaviors
such as listening at group and being quiet in the hallway. We also read
several stories about making friends and going to school. This
afternoon, we will be discussing fire drills and how to color in
kindergarten. I can't believe it is already Friday tomorrow! Have a
great evening:)

A great first day!

The children did a great job of working through a long and busy day.
They were good listeners, hard workers, and willing to adjust the
schedule when needed. Today, we started with introductions and some
activities on the Smartboard. We then attended gym and music. After
recess and lunch, we discussed Above the Line behaviors, bus safety, and
had our snack and playtime. I am looking forward to another great day
tomorrow!

Conference Day!

Hello families:)
Thanks to all who were able to attend a conference in some shape or
form. I was able to meet with everyone in person or over the phone over
the last week. I really appreciate the support you are giving your
children and I promise to do my best to help both you and your child
have a great year.
I will try to post each day as to what your child did in school. If I
am gone or forget, apologize in advance!
I look forward to posting tomorrow after a busy but fun first day:)
