Welcome November! What beautiful weather we have had! It is so nice to be able to continue our treks outside on these beautiful fall days. We have been taking the role of scientist as we spend time observing the season using all of our senses.
Thank you to all of our Veterans. I hope this Wednesday will be a time of celebration and pondering of these brave men and women. The picture above is my middle son who is currently serving overseas. He is not yet a veteran, but I am still very proud of him and his selfless service. Enjoy the day!
Some of the family turkey projects have made their way to school. I can't wait to see the rest of them!
If you have not signed up for conferences yet, please do. I can't wait to walkabout your student's first quarter of kindergarten.
During writing time we are playing the role of a scientist and using our observation skills to write nonfiction texts. We are adding words (letters) to our pictures, rehearsing what we want to write, taking turns sharing our discoveries and writing with partners, going back into our writing pieces and revise what we have written by changing or adding to what we wrote and continuing to build up our confidence as writers. We are ALL writers!
Animated Alphabet is our approach to phonemic awareness and spelling. The letters are taught through a multi sensory approach of music, dance, characters and signs which help the students hold onto that information. The characters we learned this week were; Kimmy Kangaroo and Farley Fox
In math we are working with teen numbers, recognizing teen numbers through movement, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week.
We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
