Apple Day

 

Today was apple day! 

During center time, we completed some apple centers. They had to match uppercase and lowercase cards to make a full apple, they had to color an "I Like Apples" book, they had to search under alphabet cards to find the worms, and they had to sort apple pie syllables. 

We then had a delicious apple snack. They had apple slices, caramel dip, sprinkles, apple juice, and apple cider. Thank you to all the families who sent in items so we could enjoy this delicious snack! 

We also made an apple project where we labeled the different parts of an apple.

September 20-24

 



This week in Kindergarten! 

On Monday, we had "Pete the Cat Day". Please see my post about our special day if you want to know what activities we did and to see some fun pictures. 

Our poem this week was "Sticky Situation". We made movements to our poem, glued our poem into our poetry notebook, completed a poetry page, and recorded our poem for Seesaw.


For center time, we are getting better and better at moving to the different centers and working individually or in a group to complete the activities. We have also started using Lexia Reading during center time. Ask your student about Lexia to hear more information. Here is what our center chart looks like for next week! 


In reading, our read aloud for this week was "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse". We worked on predicting, retelling, studying our main character, making inferences, sharing our favorite part, and answering comprehension questions. 



In writing, we completed our L,U,V,W,X, and Y handwriting pages. Then we drew an animal that started with the same letter and wrote a sentence. They are getting so great at using spaces, lowercase letters, and periods. 






In math, they are continuing to practice showing a certain number of objects with cubes, a 5-frame, and a 10-frame. They are practicing saying "how many more" to a certain number. They are practicing number formation and recognizing numbers. They also started work places this week. Work places are different math centers that your child gets to pick what they want to do and they are free to move from one activity to the next as they please. They are been loving this freedom! We also started Dreambox Learning. If you want to know more about Dreambox, ask your child! Here is our workplace chart. 


On Friday, we had our first guidance lesson. We learned how to be great listeners and learners.
