Wonderful Wednesday!

We are loving life in kindergarten!

After attendance and the pledge, the students were introduced to the letter Cc and the /c/ sound. We then celebrated our Happy Camper and made them a Happy Camper book. The students then transitioned to calendar where they worked on counting, days of the week, months of the year, graphing, and place value. We then did our Daily News and read an expository text about rules. Ask your child what expository means! :) If they forgot, you can remind them, "expository means explain." After reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, we painted our own Chicka Chicka trees. After recess, we did a math lesson on sorting according to different categories (sunny, rainy, and snowy). The students also did their own sorting sheet. It's in their backpack and they will be pros at explaining it. :) Lastly, we learned about the letter Dd and the /d/ sound. 

Important Information:

1. Our cookie dough fundraiser starts this Friday (9/18/15). We are hoping that all families will participate, as this is our main fundraiser for our school.

3. The volunteer calendar is done and posted to the blog; however, we will not start reading groups until Tuesday (9/29/15). This is due to a scheduling issue. If you volunteer for the take home book on Mondays and Thursdays or the Friday prep, those will be starting next week (9/21/15).
