WOW!!! I have chills thinking of how amazing today was!! The kindergartners are doing amazing--learning routines, learning new skills, and learning how to love and simply learn together!!! Together the class received 2 warm fuzzies at two different points throughout the day in order to reach our number 1 goal line because they were all working together all day long and at various points everyone was engaged and helping each other out to learn in profound ways!! Since we reached the number 1 line, the class chose together chose our 'Password for the Day!" We have not started this yet, but the timing is perfect because we talked how we would begin our letter work next week by beginning with the letter 'l' and each of them worked together and decided on the word 'Lion' for our word!!
We began our SecondStep guidance program today and focused on our listening rules and how we have listening bodies (we helped 'Puppy' calm down and taught him how kindergartners act to listen in order to learn)!
Today we each did tremendously well in Mass!
We also had music today which we enjoyed greatly!!
We have now learned how to skywrite numbers 1-9!
Today we extended our work with "If You Take a Mouse to School" in which we were able to retell the story completely on our own as I turned the pages for them to view. Each child then created their own mouse and ending to the story as if they were to bring the mouse to school and each ending was imaginative and very creative-they were very proud!
We had continuous learning all day long and it was simply a fantastic day in kindergarten!!

August 27th!
Today was a great Tuesday! The children loved the cooler temperatures to enjoy recess! We had P.E. today which is a reminder that ALL students should have an EXTRA pair of tennis shoes that are to stay at school for every time we have P.E. Please make sure that your child has their pair of shoes at school, if not, PLEASE send them in A.S.A.P.
We are doing great learning how to skywrite our numbers and manipulate with counting bears and pattern blocks in math! We are venturing into creating stories related to familiar items (school items) by working with the story If You Take a Mouse to School! We are still acknowledging acts of kindness as being very important for our classroom community--we made a kindness chain today with Jesus as our first person! We are learning how to be welcoming towards others and showing reverence during prayer.
There is a lot of learning going on!!
PLEASE remember to check your child's YELLOW folder every night to acknowledge their behavior sheets and participate in doing their Homework that is on the right side of their folder--we will not have homework every day, but please be aware!!
Hopeful for another wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!!
