Kindergarten Happenings!

 Our first full week in with everyone went great!  We were all excited and a little nervous with the change but by the end of the week everyone was feeling really good and making many new friends. We spent the week review some procedures and routines. We started our week creating an list of our names in alphabetical order. We learned that if two people have the same first letter we look at the next letter to decide who would be first. We wrote a chart and hung it up as well as put our pictures in ABC order for the kids to see.  We still need a few reminders but are getting better at lining up each day. We also started eating snack outside last week which was a lot of fun and a nice change of atmosphere. The children really enjoyed doing this 4/5 days last week.  We practiced a fire drill two times and will do it again this week. We worked on some math stations, learned a new game compare which everyone loved! We also wrote in our journals, wrote our names using lower case letters and lines, and completed self portraits. We also earned our marble party which was super exciting!!  We are off to a terrific start.  Here are some pictures from the week!  Hope you enjoy them. 

Here are some pictures from the game compare. It is the old fashion game "War" but compare is better name for school fun! The students really enjoyed playing together and we will introduce them to double compare after vacation.
