A new week has begun and we are well on our way. Over the last several weeks I have been doing assessments on students and gaining knowledge about what I need to re-teach. The remainder of this week will be spent on final assessments before report cards. The growth I have seen so far is very impressive!
In reading this week we are working on learning the letters K and D. We have looked for things around us that begin with those letters or have those sounds in them. We have shared our findings and will continue through the rest of the week. We are also reading a story about George Washington. The Crew loves non fiction! They look for "real" stories in the library and in the classroom. This is a big deal!
In Math we are working on "addition" using story problems, counters, and number cards. The games we learned this week are Racing Bears, Double and Compare, and Build It/Change It. Ask your child to tell you about these games. We have also been drawing pictures and writing a number sentence for the picture. The Crew is loving "Big Kid Math!"
In Science, we are continueing to work on Movement. The students will head to the science lab tomorrow to work in groups to explore movement further.
As many of you know our field trip to the Wharton Center is coming up on January 30th. We will leave here at about 8:15 and return at about 11:30. Students need a sack lunch that day. If they normally order a hot lunch, they will be able to order a box lunch from the cafeteria to eat when they return. An order form will come home on Thursday, January 19 with more details. The order must be to the kitchen by January 27th so that they can prepare the lunches for our students who need one.
Let's Celebrate! In December, Ms. Durling and I applied for a grant to purchase MP3 players, headphones and stories for all Kindergarten classrooms. We were awarded $2100 to fund this project through the Williamston Schools Foundation. The MP3 players have arrived and Ms. Durling and I will be adding stories to the players as well as music for students to use during reading time. The students are so excited to begin using this technology. In the future we may be looking for parents to record a reading of their child's favorite book for use in the classroom.
Lastly, if you have any questions or concerns about anything you read in my blog, please let me know. I love feedback!!!
