What a week! Two marble parties to celebrate hard work and great behavior! We have also seen and heard many nice things happening throughout the day! Friends supporting one another with encouraging words, saying kind things and helping one another while still remaining safe! Way to go kindergarten!! We are so PROUD of you!!
This week we also wrote in our journals, practiced syllables, unscrambling sentences, practiced handwriting, and sight words. We also worked on classifying objects and making numbers in different ways. We had a chance to read from our browsing boxes and play with our friends. The most exciting part was outdoor recess and playing in the snow! They had a blast! Here are some pictures from out week.
Hadley working hard at home!! Excellent job! Looks like you have an amazing space for your remote work! It will come in handy in the next few weeks!
We would like to welcome Harmony to our class! Her first day was last week. She joined cohort B. It is great to have you Harmony!!
Journal writing
The children are working hard on their illustrations and writing. Some friends are trying to write on their own while others are more comfortable with assistance. As the year progresses, their confidence will grow. Right now I focus on phonetic spelling (sounding out - not necessarily correct spelling) and spelling sight words correctly, especially the ones we have learned.
They are working hard and trying their best so that it what we want to see!
Syllable Sort
The children each had a Menorah with the numbers 1, 2, 3 on them. They then had to sort the pictures on the candles by the number of syllables they have. For example if the picture was a snowflake, they would tap out the word and put it on the Menorah with the #2, tree on the Menorah with the #1 and so forth. They are doing well with syllables and we will continue to review them all year.
Cohort A - Snow Fun!
They loved the snow pile although it can get pretty messy.
Making an icy snowman.
The snow was a bit icy on Monday & Tuesday.
Tapping out syllables
Unscrambling sentences
The students had 5 sentences to unscramble and organize correctly. We focused on the things we knew about sentences. Capital at the beginning, punctuation at the end and does it make sense?
