We had a great day together!
We started with our Happy Camper interview and name book. We then transitioned right to reading groups, where students worked on letter ID, letter sounds, handwriting, and listening. After reading groups, we went outside with our kindergarten friends. Once recess was over, we came inside and finished our opinion writing (Which apple do you like best: red, green, or yellow?). We worked hard on choosing our opinion, but also in supplying a reason for our choice. After writing, we did our morning message, calendar, and Daily News (shared writing). We ended our morning with math - counting and connecting the different groups to the corresponding number.
Our afternoon was filled with lunch, recess, P.E., write the room (ABCs), snack, show & share, quiet time, music, and a fire drill.

6. Take Home Books will be coming home on Monday. Included with the book is a letter all about how to read the book with your child, along with the routine of the program.
7. Please tell your child if they are having hot lunch or cold lunch each day. This will help when we do our lunch count. Also, please tell your child if they need to sit at the peanut table (meaning, you packed PB&J or they have items that contain or were processed with nuts). Kinders get very confused and it's difficult to look through every kiddos lunch before they sit down.
