Kindergarten Happenings!

 Another great week in kindergarten!  We had the opportunity to visit the 4th grade projects.  The children enjoyed walking to the different tables and learning about the different tribes.  We continued to work on addition and challenged some to find the missing part.  This was a little more difficult but got their brains thinking.  We wrote in our journals and did a writing prompt!  I was impressed with the writing prompt as it is an assessment so teachers do not support student output.  I was happy to see everyone wrote something on their own!  Mid year assessments are almost completed and I will work on getting you the results once they are complete.  We are also working on listening to sounds and blending them, segmenting sounds and then reading words in print. We continue to practice sight words as well.  The most exciting news is the marbles we earned on our Zooms Wednesday filled the marble jar!!  So we will celebrate our reward on Monday, February 1st and Friday, February 5th. Check your email for details!  Terrific job kindergarteners!!
