We had a great day together!
We started our day with some play-doh time. We then transitioned to calendar and Daily News. We are really focusing on what a statement is vs. a question and the correct punctuation to put with each. I introduced the kiddos to our new letter of the week (Rr) and the /r/ sound. We read the book Rosie Rabbit's Radish and guessed what was in my question can (it was a rose). The kinders also guessed various pictures that start with the letter Rr. After our letter work, we went outside for a chilly, but fun recess. :) After recess, we continued our work on informational writing. We read two books about baby elephants (calves) and completed our graphic organizer with the new facts we learned.
We will use the organizer to create an informational writing piece about calves (baby elephants) over the course of this week. Finally, we reviewed number bonds in math and created a few numbers bonds where the parts together equaled eight (e.g. 4 and 4, 1 and 7, etc.).
Our AM class ended their day with free choice. Our PM class had library checkout.
Important Information:
1. Homework folders came home today (2-22-16)
2. Take Home Books were exchanged/checked in. Some kiddos did not have their books, so they did not receive a new book. Just a loving reminder, please keep your child's take home book in the plastic book envelope (we are missing quite a few books from my library).
3. Grandparents Day is March 18th from 8:15-9:00am for both AM and PM kinders!
4. February 25th, the PV Drama club presents Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The play will be performed from 10-11am (AM K-3rd grade), 1:30-2:30pm (PM K and 4-6th grades), and an evening showing at 6:30pm.
5. Due to the drama performances, we will not have reading groups on Thursday, February 25th.
