Color Week

 Please stop by and check our our colorful room!

This week we started our centers.

We divided into 3 groups; Phonics,

Writing, and Craft/Math.

 Here are some kinders working at the craft/math table. 

They sorted, counted, graphed and then ate their M&Ms. YUM!!

 I had no trouble getting them to complete

their work today.

Nicolle did an AWESOME job working at the

writing table.  She read the color words

and then drew pictures of things with those colors.

Drawing is the first step in becoming a great writer.

 If they finish their work before it is time to switch

tables, they can choose a quiet activity like reading

or working file folder games.

 Our third table works with me. We go over letters, sounds

and letter formation. This week and next we will be

working on short vowel sounds. (a, e, i, o, u)

Today we listened for the vowel sounds in the middle

of short words. I have great expectations for this class. 

They are off to a great start....thanks to some wonderful

4k teachers, 3k teachers and parents!

 

Elmer the Elephant

 On Friday, we read "Elmer". This colorful

pachyderm provide much conversation and discussion. Not only

was it an excellent example for the letter of the day "E", we learned new vocabulary like - herd, camouflage, unique and patchwork. We also learned that God made us the way we are and He made us unique for a reason. Be the best YOU you can be!

 They were all eager to create their own

colorful elephant.

 

 

Pete the Cat

  Our favorite part of the week was when 

Pete the Cat came to visit us in his white shoes.

Even when he stepped in piles of strawberries, 

blueberries, mud and water, he never got upset.

He just went along, singing his song because

it's ALL GOOD.

Check out this link on the home page to hear the song....if you dare. Beware! It is a catchy tune!
