Another great week in kindergarten!

We had another terrific week!  The kids are doing a great job learning the routines of the day. They are working hard and learning about the different materials in the room.  We read some stories, danced the "Numbers Rumba", learned about whole body listening and practiced numbers 0-5.  Here are some pictures from our week!

We worked on cutting and putting the letters in our name in order.  The students cut their name puzzles and then had to put their names back together and identify each letter.  Some of our friends did this very quickly and others need a little more practice.  We also challenged some students to do their last name.  

 Stregnthening our finger uscles again with letter beads in rice.  We used tongs to take out the letters then sorted them by color and answered some math questions.

More cutting practice.  The students created and Alphabet Book for their browsing boxes.  First they cut out the pictures; one for each letter of the alphabet. Then they glued the picture with the correct letter.  

 More letter practice.  The students colored a "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" tree and then placed alphabet stickers on the tree.  We listened to the story and song for this activity.  We focused on controling our finger muscles to stay in the lines and peel the stickers.  Another great way to strengthen finger muscles.  We also had students identify letter names and many were able to identify sounds we have learned through Lively Letters!  

 Monster Math ~ students were given some monsters with numbers on their bellies.  The students sequenced the numbers.  We worked on numbers 0-5, 0-10 and some even did 0-20!!

 Popcorn Numbers ~ The students counted dots on a popcorn box and then placed the piece of popcorn with the corresponding number.  

 A little bit of a challenge but the students were very motivated and excited to complete the picture as they sequenced numbers 0-20.  Some students need a little bit of help but we were very impressed with their work! 

 Getting ready to make shapes and numbers 0-5 with play-do!  This was a favorite activity for many.  

 Social Skills with Mrs. Checola.  We have talked about Whole Body Listening so Mrs. Checola came in to reinforce this concept with a wonderful book she has.  We talked about "thought bubbles" and how people know if you are paying attention and caring about what they say.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
