The kids were able to attend an awards ceremony this morning. Children
can earn Above the Line awards for acts of kindness or responsibility
that go above and beyond what they need to do at school. We were able to
see some of the children get awards in other grades, and now the
kindergarten children can also earn awards. We also practiced letters,
numbers, and completed centers. We visited the gym, music room, and
computer lab this morning. I have also attached a picture of the
children at the awards ceremony. Have a great day!

A Name has been Chosen!

Well, after a long list of ideas, the children chose two names for our
classroom frog. We combined them to create "Kindergarten Frog Cutie" as
our pet name. I can't help but call our frog KFrog, because it is just
too cool of a name to pass up!
We also practiced our letters today and visited the gym and music room.
This afternoon, we will be discussing the concept of weight (using a
balance and the terms heavier, lighter) and start a new chapter in math
on numbers. Have a great day!

Our Frog Picture

I am doing a test email to see if pictures will post of my blog though
email. We will be naming our little guy later today!

Happy Friday!

The kids came in and read their new take home book "A Farm". They are
really picking up on the quick words and it is so much fun to hear them
read. They are currently in gym and library. We will then attend
computer lab and make some fun scarecrows. This afternoon, the kids will
be completing a math unit about numbers and visiting our reader pals.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the last bit of sunny weather (for
awhile anyway).

Smarty Pants Kids!

Testing for first quarter is complete and I am VERY impressed with the
progress the kids have made. Their hard work is paying off:) Today, the
kids practiced writing letters and visited the gym, music room, and
computer lab. This afternoon, we will be practicing our numbers as well
as our quick words. We will be changing table spots this afternoon and
hopefully the kids will enjoy sitting next to some different children. I
will be gone tomorrow but I am sure the children will carry their good
behavior to their teacher. Have a great day!

Let the Sun Shine!

We came in this morning bright and cheery eyed...That is always a good
thing! The kids worked on letter writing this morning as well as some
journaling. The kids are in gym and music now. This afternoon, we will
be completing some reading testing (namely letter writing) and we will
practice some number writing as well. You should all feel good about
your child's progress-they are doing a great job! Have a good day:)

Brrrr!

The kids came in with a lot of energy this morning so we tried a few
dance/rhyming activities to get us ready for the day! They did a good
job with the letter Uu and are now at the gym/music room. We will be
reading a big book story about shadows this morning as well as
completing centers. I will also be testing the children on their letter
and sound recognition this morning. This afternoon, we will be
discussing the meaning of harvest as well as practicing our numbers.
Have a great day!
