Please look on the homework calendar to see what our letter of the week is!  We started with the letter Mm, then we learned Tt, and this week we will learn all about Aa!

When learning a new letter, students need to be able to:

• Produce the letter sound
• Hear the letter sound in different words:  Is it in the beginning of the word, middle of the word, or at the end of the word.
• Form and write the letter (both capital and lowercase)
• When I show them the print/letter, the student can tell me the name and the sound that letter makes.

Here is one FUN way we practiced Mm.  We covered Mm with MINI MARSHMALLOWS!  After that, we ate them!

Students also learned how to do centers this week!  Centers give student’s the opportunity to practice skills already taught and also allow the students to interact and make new friends!

Kindergartners learned a new math game called, Roll a City.  The game focuses on students reading the dice dots that were rolled, counting and making that amount of a block tower, and taking turns.

Welcome Kindergartners!  What an awesome year to graduate……but we are only just beginning this journey!

I am looking forward to our parent and child visitation day tomorrow, Monday, August 28th.  When you come with your child you will be sent on a little scavenger hunt around the room.  You’ll also have plenty of time to speak with me and ask any last minute questions.  Also, be sure to bring your camera!  This is a great day for photos.  The kids will even be able to walk on a parked school bus and try out a seat!  Lastly, we will finish the visit with a read aloud.  I cannot wait to see you all!

What a fun day!  I was inspired by all of the creativity!  Once again, I had ambitious ideas about hand-crafting a pinned idea, but after attending LAX games and track meets, I ended up at Goodwill and scored an awesome t-shirt– complete with a cape!  It was quite a super morning and afternoon with all these “heroes”.

I forgot a class picture in the busyness of the morning.  Please do e-mail me a picture of your child if you have one!!  I will include it in a revised post.

 Our PM class.  Mrs. Kulp is a true Kindergarten-teacher hero!  She is such a wonderful help to me and the children each day!  We are grateful to have her on the Kindergarten team!

On Tuesday, we decorated eggs and talked about how many things you can make with eggs.  On Wednesday, both classes decorated paper eggs and then hid them for our classmates in Mrs. Peter’s class.  We watched and cheered for each other as the opposite class hunted. Then we watched a movie, Peter Rabbit together.  We had read the book earlier in the week as we worked on retelling a familiar story.

Merry Christmas to my PM students and parents!  The kids were so excited for today!  They were happy to exchange gifts and then so many of them exchanged their own cards too!  They really care about each other and are like a little family!

We had a WONDERFUL celebration before our Holiday break!  Merry Christmas AM class and families!!

I want to draw your attention to the kids faces as they watched their friends open gifts!!  It was so cute to watch them give each other presents….they have such big hearts and truly got into the season of giving!!
