Special Kindergarteners!

Hi everyone!! Another week of kindergarten is behind us!! Can you even believe how fast it is going? We have been working so hard I thought I would share all of the stuff we have been learning!

 In literacy we have been discussing some important questions about who is in our family, why we are special, and what we can do. We have also been learning about reading left to right, the number of words in a sentence, syllables, nursery rhymes, and of course reading LOTS of books!! We have also been introduced to two new words; CAN and I!! I see how much smarter the kids get every day and I can not wait to watch them develop into awesome readers!!

In math we have been learning about numbers from 1-10 and even about graphing. The kids love to show off the big words we've been learning, like vertical and horizontal. We continue to draw scenes in our counting books and read Anno's Counting Book!! We just LOVE it!!

In unit studies we have been talking about safety!! We practiced calling 911, we discussed what a real emergency is, how to stop, drop, and roll (Mrs. Woita even tried this:), good thing all of my friends now how to roll because I just had to pretend), we know how important it is to learn our address, and about stranger safety. Please continue to discuss these things with your child at home. I want them to always be safe!!

We've also been doing LOTS of singing!! We learned a Days of the Week song, and lots of cool math and abc songs!! We have some great singers and dancers!!

Just a reminder that we are having conferences this Thursday, Sept. 5th and next Tuesday, Sept. 10th. My long term sub, Hannah Kring, will also be joining us so you will have a chance to meet her before I go on maternity leave. Please return your forms and try to bring your kindergartener to conferences with you!

We have been talking a lot about why we are special so please check out our awesome video that shows some neat pictures we made and some pictures of us working hard!
