Happy March, Everyone! In like a lamb! This winter certainly has been kind to us!
We have had a very busy week here in Kindergarten! Book character dress up day, Community reader, cup stacking with our reading buddies, being visited by 5th graders who read to us and gave us a yummy treat, and reading all of these silly Dr. Seuss books has made this week that much more fun!
In writing we have been introduced to a new unit in 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 and Abe.
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 (the ones from the fall might not fit us anymore). 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.
