HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009-08-29T15:22:00.005-05:00

We are so excited about a brand new year of kindergarten! We have fun new ways to learn the "same ol' stuff." We can't wait to start learning our letters, their sounds, some sight words and putting all that together with the joy of books to make life long readers!

Our resolution this year is to find a way for each child to find books they love and get them on their way reading independently!

Please check back to see what new things we are doing and what you can do to encourage and support our kinder classes on this journey!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The mouse sed The DucK is Noisy

(The mouse said the duck is noisy.)

"I just remember that they were playing kickball and then it just crashed in the dog house and they were scared to go in there."

When Adam was reading this book to me to practice it, he learned to use the stop signs at the end of the sentence to read with enthusiasm! He did a great job!

Junie B. Jones is Captain Field Day

2009-05-11T10:17:00.004-05:00

Junie B. is at it again! We finished this book just in time for our own field day! Junie B. got to be captain of her class during field day. She was so excited to be the boss, but she soon found that it was a tough job to keep everyone in good spirits, especially when they were getting "skunked" by Room 8. Junie B. taught us the right and wrong way to cheer on our teammates and how to be a good sport! In the end there was an unlikely hero....

"On the first page he said, 'Christmas is coming, time for a tree, I do not want a small tree' and then on the next page he said, 'I do not want a small tree' and on the next page he said, 'Some trees are fake. I do not want a fake tree.' At the way end of the story they had a tree and the mom and boy decorate it."

Nate the Great and the Monster Mess

2009-04-17T10:00:00.006-05:00

As we near the end of the year in kindergarten we begin to introduce chapter books to the students during our read aloud time. Reading a chapter book in kindergarten is a big deal, even if it is being read to them. The students have to remember what happened the day before in the book because we discuss this each day before we begin a new chapter. We only read one chapter a day and we discuss it in great detail. The students are REALLY getting into this book and we thought it would be fun to have the students answer questions and comment on the book.

What is the problem in the story?
"The recipes of the monster cookies is gone."
-Damien

What are some of the clues that we have found?
-"The dog would be good in lemons." - Matthew
-Mom took out a long paper with cookie ingredients." - Cody A.

Where could the recipe be?
- "It might be in Mom's purse" - Solie
-It could be at the fish store." -Jaedan
-"It might be in her pocket." - Janie

We found out at the end of the book that mom was making a new recipe that would taste like lemons and look like Fang the dog. She put the recipe upside down and then it got lost!
