Halloween Party~

We had a blast yesterday during our Halloween party....wait we had a blast all day yesterday!  It was a wonderful day!  We had our party in the morning!  The snacks brought in were wonderful!  The students enjoyed everything.  Thanks to those who brought in something for this party.  We were also able to watch a movie "Franklin's Halloween".  Here are some pictures from the party!

Red Ribbon Week

Last week we were very busy talking about Red Ribbon Week.  The students had a ball dressing up for the days we had planned.  They also got to go to a fun assembly called "Rockin' Prevention".  It was a great assembly that had a lot of music and dance movements to get us rockin' but also thinking about why we need to be drug free.  Here are some pictures from our assembly.  We were able to go up in front of the audience and show off our talents.  The students loved it!

Compare that number!

We were able to spend some time last week counting out and comparing two numbers.  It was a lot of fun to see what two numbers they came up with and if they know which one was more or fewer.  We had a lot of fun!  They love to count out objects.  Have them show you their awesome counting skills at home sometime!

Spider Web!~

We created a spider web in our classroom.  The only way you could get an end of the web to hold on to was by telling us the final sound in a word.  The students loved rolling the ball of yarn around to their friends and listening to them give their final sound.  Then once everyone had a chance we were able to stand up and see our spider web.  It was a lot of fun and they are ready to do it again!

Enjoy!

Math

We have been very busy Kindergarteners in math these past two weeks. In math we have been busy working on our numbers to 30.  This is a tough concept for all the students to understand.  We have spent much of our time reading and writing the numbers to 20 currently and will start going to 30 the following week. Please practice this at home. The teens are tough!

Reading

We are continuing all of our work in our Daily’s.  The students have been working very hard on their writing in their journals.  Each day they have a sentence to copy and fill in the ending of it with a variety of different words.  Their job is to sound them out the best they can to figure out the spelling of the word.  They are doing a very nice job.  Ask them to write something for you at home to see how much they have improved.  We have been working on final sounds in words.  This can be tough so practicing at home is helpful.

Numbers Oh Numbers! ~~

We have been very busy in math working with counting, writing, and reading numbers.  It is very important that your child can at least count, write, and read numbers to 30.  So this is something that can be worked on at home.  Please know that we do not test the numbers always in order so knowing them at random is VERY important.  Here are some pictures of a variety of activities we have been doing to work on numbers.  Right now we just finished up our unit on numbers to 10 and will start numbers to 30 today! 

Thanks for all your hard work!!
