Highlights of our Week
- We have had 8 days of school!!
- In Math we introduced the Number Corner activity, which focuses primarily on the calendar. Our current calendar pattern has us exploring basic shapes and searching for them in things we see in the world. We also introduced the basic Work Place material and gave everyone a chance to explore and become familiar with it. The children got a kick out of their teacher taking off one of her shoes for them to inspect for our sorting activity! They have been taking time to think about similarities and differences and sorting into groups. Please find the Bridges Unit 1 overview in 'Pages'
- FUNdations (Phonics): We completed the Orientation part of Fundations, which introduced the class to the materials that we will be using, as well as the routine. Next week we really dive in!
- Our Garden is Growing! Last we planted several types of seeds, with the help of Ms. Christina (Jaspers mom). The class was excited to see this week how their seeds had sprouted. Some were transferred to our garden area.
- Art - Color days is always a fun time in school. Everyone is always looking to see how someone else did with their color days fashion pick! Throughout the week we talked about the Primary colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) and read some related stories. On Friday it seemed appropriate to use lots of colors, especially after reading the book 'Sky Color' by Peter H. Reynolds where young Marisol discovers all the beautiful colors a sky can be.
SEL (Social Emotional Learning) with Ms. Bird - In her monthly SEL lesson, Ms. Bird read a story about expressing emotions and talked with the class about feelings. If we get angry, does that mean we have to stay angry? What can we do to calm down? Kindergartners participated very well in this discussion. Now to work on putting into practice!
