This week in Kindergarten our poem was Apples. The students made movements to this poem, did a sorting activity with rhymes, and did a color sorting activity.
Our read aloud book this week was "Chrysanthemum". We worked on predicting how Chrysanthemum would feel starting school, we retold key parts of our story, we compared and contrasted "Chrysanthemum" with "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse", we made inferences, and talked about our favorite parts.
For word work, we looked at J or G words, E or J words, O or E words, and Q or O words.
For word wall words, we have introduced the words I, Can, Am, and See. Practice spelling and writing these words with your child.
For handwriting, we looked at the letter E. We used our chalkboards to practice making the letter E. The students should be saying to themselves, "big line down, frog jump up, little line, little line, little line" when they practice E's at home.
For writing, we focused on the structure of our writing workshop. We always start with a mini-lesson where the students learn a new skill. Then we move into try it out where they practice that new skill. Then we have a sharing time where they can share their writing and ideas. We worked on telling the beginning, middle, and end to a story. We also looked at writing stamina and started our class chart.
In math, we built some shapes together. We built different kinds of triangles, squares, and rectangles. We worked with our partners to count corners and sides of shapes. We introduced hexagons and circles. Lastly, we talked about positional words and played "Simon Says".
On Tuesday, we had a birthday celebration. We did a fun science experiment with milk, dish soap, and food coloring. We also did a STEM activity where the students built towers using pencils. They were trying to have the highest tower!
We had our first assembly to kick off the Fun Run fundraiser at Thorson. Our class name is, "Miss Davel's Dangerously Cute Dogs". More information about the Fun Run is to come!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday. Thank you for the amazing flowers, cake, and candy! I love each and every one of my students so much and I was so happy to spend my special day with them!
Enjoy some pictures from our week!
