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!!
