Wow...our first full week of kindergarten!  Here is a quick snapshot...we did so much more.

PE-This week we learned how to play noodle tag and created obstacle courses with chalk.  Thank you for all the lovely chalk donations.

ECO-We learned how to take care of ourselves and each other when we are at Harrison Field.  We played falling leaves.  The squirrel tried collect following leaves for his winter nest.  They did a fabulous job walking safely on the sidewalk.  Thank you for making sure they all had the proper footwear.  We will go to Harrison Field on Tuesday this coming week.  Please check the weather report!

Science:  We went on a virtual nature walk to discover how we can observe animals patterns to see how they eat food.  We also used our bodies to act out the animal actions.  Our painted lady butterflies arrived.  We are busy watching them eat and grow!

Math:  We count everyday (the goal -I can count to 100.) to wake up Count von Count.  We discussed shapes, digits, patterns (caterpillars) and played many subitizing games with dice.

Literacy:  We reviewed the sounds of a and t.  We practiced their letter formation using lines (skyline, airplane line and grass line).   We passed out book boxes for read to self.  They colored and read two take and make books -"Chester Goes to School," and "Chicka Chicka Boom."  We were letter a and t detectives.  Also, we read several picture books...my favorite was about our class family.  Goal:  I can point to words when I read.  They received their first pointers.  Heart word of the week-I.

Art/Music:  The children received their art supplies and made pictures about what brings them joy!  During music they did a finger play and pretended to move like butterflies.

Choice Time:  We had free lego explore!

Mindful:  Ask them to show you five finger breathing.

Recess:  We were able to get outside twice everyday...we tried to eat lunch outside.  The bees were way too interested in our lunches!
