This & That

We had another great week here at the Kindergarten Center!

We read a story about Mrs. Wishy Washy and talked about her character traits.  She seems to be very responsible and she loves to keep her things clean!

In math, we worked with sorting different objects.  We talked about the ways we could group objects by how they are the same.  In our partner group, we took pictures of our sorting and uploaded them to an app called SeeSaw.  You will learn more about SeeSaw at your Parent/Teacher conference!

In writing, we have been working hard at coming up with a sentence about something that we did.  We check to make sure we have a complete sentence by asking if it has a 'who' and a 'did what'.  We clap our sentence as this helps us to understand that each word will need it's own space.  We then count the words that will be in our sentence and finally we start writing our sentence!  

This Little Learner is reading Mrs. Lindbo's sentence.  She taps each word as she reads!

Mrs. Anderson talked to us about staying on task.  A few kids got to be special helpers while Mrs. Anderson read Press Here .  This is such a fun book! If you haven't read it, please do!


We have also earned 10 feathers again! We decided to have a lunch date in the classroom with the teacher! It was fun and I'm proud that we have already celebrated 3 times!  Great job, Little Learners!

Peek at Next Week

Monday, Oct. 19 and Tuesday, Oct. 20 are our first Parent/Teacher conferences.  I am very excited to share the progress that your child has made in the first month of school.  We will discuss letter names/sounds, Guided Reading, math concepts, and behaviors.  I will also share more about how we integrate technology into our classroom and invite you to stay connected to your child's learning with several apps.  Of course, there will also be time for you to ask me any questions you might have!  Thanks so much for taking time to visit with me during your scheduled conference!
