Welcome to our class blog for the 2014-15 school year!  I hope that you will check back often to find out what we're learning each week in kindergarten.  Feel free to leave a comment, so we know you've stopped by :)

During our literacy time in the morning, we are doing a quick intro/review of letter names and sounds. Some friends know the letters from 4K-and home-but for other students, this is new learning.  We are also practicing forming the letters the "kindergarten way"...starting our lines at the top, and pulling down.

During our math lesson, we played our first partner game!  I was so proud of the way the children were talking and learning together.  We've been using the words "same" and "different" to describe shapes, and we've also been writing and counting using the numbers 1 and 2 (so far :).  Our Math program spends a lot of time on the numbers 1-10, so students have a great understanding of what those numbers actually mean, and different ways to make them (ex...2 and 3 are the same as 5).

We've also been getting to know our friends!  Each day, we spend some time getting to know one of our friends a little better by asking them questions about themselves.  Then we talk about their name, and draw a picture of them (your child will bring their pics home in a class book!)
But the best part is just playing together...it's great seeing all the smiling faces during playtime!!
