Happy March, Everyone! In like a lamb!
We have had a very busy Dr. Seuss week here in Kindergarten! All crazy hair and reading all of these shirts makes celebrating Dr. Seuss that much more fun! Our community reader (Max's Mom) came in and shared a favorite book and we had a snack to go along with the theme! We also visited the 5th grade and were treated to good food and books at their Dr. Seuss Cafe!
In writing we have been working on finishing our narrative unit and introducing a new unit of writing. We will be creating books that teach people how to do something (examples: How to Build a Snowman, How to Make a Sandwich, How to Brush My Teeth). It is harder than you think to organize the steps of how to complete a task.
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 this week were Grouchy Owl and Brown Mouse.
In math we have been using dice to play a probability game, working with shapes, using teen numbers, finding combinations of 10 and continuing our calendar activities.
It is a good time of the year for reminders about having an extra set of dry clothes for your child. They can leave them in their backpack or in their cubby. There is nothing worse than getting wet or muddy and sitting in them for the rest of the day.
