This Week in Kindergarten…

 

Popcorn Words: is, his, this

Color Word: Green…We learned all about the color green this week. We learned about things that are green, read a green book, built the word green, read many Froggy books by Jonathon London, made a green frog and wore green clothes. It was a fun green week!

Reading: In reading this week, we learned that we want to be a BOOK LOVER and NOT a BOOK BULLY.  Book Lovers choose books carefully, turn each page, read every page in order, treat books with care. Book bullies are the opposite, they do not treat books respectfully. We also learned what it looks like to have Reader Respect.  That means we read quietly, stay in one spot, read the whole time and get started right away. It’s so fun to watch the kinders learn from the pictures in their books and start to recognize some of our popcorn words!! Way to go readers!!

Math: In math this week, we practiced identifying shapes…circles and not circles. The kinders worked as groups to make posters of circles and not circles. We learned about what a square and rectangle are also. We continued practicing comparing numbers. It is fun to get our comparing mats out and practice comparing numbers!

Writing: In writing this week, we wrote about going to library, hanging up our backpacks, our family and snack time.  We have awesome kinders who are working hard to draw detailed pictures and add labels to their writing! 

Eagle Spirit Day!! Eagle Spirit Day was a lot of fun! We had some band members, football players, cheerleaders and super fans visit us on Friday to get us all pumped up for the homecoming football game! It was a lot of fun!

Marker Certified!! We learned the rules for using markers and practiced those rules by coloring a rainbow with markers. We are now marker certified!!

BUCKET FILLERS: We are continuing to learn about being bucket fillers!! We read another book called, How Full is Your Bucket for Kids? and learned more about how to fill other’s invisible buckets. We sorted pictures that taught us about being bucket fillers and colored our own book to take home and share with our families. 

5 STAR REWARD: We earned five stars in our classroom and that means we have a reward day!! We earn our stars by being ready to learn throughout the day!! We are doing a great job!! We are going to celebrate by having a PAJAMA DAY on Monday, October 1. Please remind your kinder to wear jammies!!
