This Week in Kindergarten…

Popcorn Words: the, dog

Color Word: blue

We started learning about our third color word this week…blue! We learned about different things that are blue, met Brianna Blue, practiced writing the word blue, made a blue book, read a book called The Little Blue Truck and did an activity with it, wore blue clothes and made a blue Pete the Cat craft. We had so much fun! 

Constitution Day

We learned about Constitution Day by reading a book all about it. We also talked about how we have rules in our classroom and decorated handprints to hang up by our Classroom Pledge that we say every morning. 

Reader’s Workshop

This week we practiced looking at real world books…non-fiction books. It was fun to learn new things from looking at pictures and the details in books. 

Writer’s Workshop

We practiced drawing Mat Man again– a person, that includes certain body parts. We had fun listening to the Mat Man song and sang it together as we drew Mat Man. We drew pictures of our school lunch table, house and playground and practiced adding details and labels. They are doing an amazing job adding details to their pictures!

Math

In math this week, we used our math workbooks for the first time. We learned about circles and practiced tracing and drawing them. We also practiced our number sense by drawing pictures to represent the numbers. We even got to do a number sense activity around the classroom. On Friday, we played fun math games!!

My Mouth is a Volcano

We read the book called My Mouth is a Volcano and learned a lesson about interrupting. We also learned a strategy to try when we are feeling like we are going to “erupt.” 

Bucket Fillers

We are going to practice being bucket fillers in our classroom! We read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? and learned what it means to “fill a bucket.” Your kinders were going to try to be bucket fillers at home this weekend! We are going to practice being bucket fillers and continue to learn more about bucket fillers and what they do! 

Reminders…

BACKPACK SNACK & WATER BOTTLES:  Don’t forget those two quick, healthy backpack snacks. Please send your kinder with a water bottle so that they can stay hydrated throughout the day.  

LIBRARY:  We got to go to library each Tuesday…remember to return those books. It’s always fun to get a new one each week!
