Reader’s Workshop: This week we continued working with partners to read books! Students created their “Bb” books and have been practicing reading with their partners. We have also been reading a new big book, Mrs. Wishy Washy. Next Friday we will be decorating our little book boxes that the kids will be bringing home. If you can send in any donations of stickers or adhesive foam shapes that would be great! :-)
Writer’s Workshop: Stories, stories and more stories! In Writer’s Workshop we have been writing stories by drawing pictures and adding labels to the important parts. Our writers’ have shown great improvements in their drawing and even began adding color to their drawings today to show more details of their story.
Math: In math this week we talked about patterns! We took a look at patterns we can make with counters, wooden beads and chain links that snap together. We continued working on our shape counting books too! This week we covered the numbers six, seven and eight! We are hoping to have these books done and home in the next week.
Science: This week we began our Science Unit! We talked about trees, seeds, and tree parts (roots, trunk, branches and leaves). On Tuesday we even planted a REAL maple tree! Be sure to ask your child about Mr. Maple! A special thank you to our two Dad’s who just happened to be helping in our room that day (they ended up digging us a giant hole and lifting the new Dublin kindergarten tree into the hole)!
Classroom Blog: Today you are reading our newsletter on the “News Blog”. We also have a “Kids Blog”. This week we went to the computer lab to type our first Blog article. Our little Bloggers were very excited to learn that they have their own Web Site where we will visit and post all kinds of neat things! You can visit the blog at: http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=118873 .
**SmartBoard Update!! Yes, we are still waiting for an installation. There has been a problem with the mount that was delivered with the board. If we use the mount that was delivered, we would need to have our old white board removed from the wall. This poses a major problem. We are looking for an alternate way to mount the board as soon as possible with the minimal amount of damage!
Snack Leaders! Monday - Matthew, Tuesday - Kelsey, Thursday - Kaylee
