B-L-U-E spells blue!

This week has been busy busy busy here in room 303!

 Our color word this week is blue.  We wrote some fabulous books about the color blue and loved singing the blue song as fast as we can.

 For handwriting we practice making the letters E,D, and the number 1.  We practiced always starting our letters at the top.  We are also continuing to retrain our hands to hold that pencil correctly.  Please remind us when we are writing at home to use our correct pencil grip!

 On Wednesday we went to Guidance with Ms. Sayklay.  We learned about Rachel's Challenge.  We are doing our best to do acts of kindness for those around us.  When you spot one of us doing a random act of kindness at home please fill out the yellow chain link and send it back in to school to add to our class chain.  

 We also had a class  meeting about bullying.  Our school is a bully free zone.  We signed the Kindergarten promise not to be a bully and to report bullying.  

 This week in math we have been practicing math stations.  We have been working hard on using our whisper voices when we are working around our classroom so that we can respect others.

 During Writer's Workshop we have been talking about authors.  We leaned about what authors look and sounds like.  We learned that authors write about things that they know.  In our Writing journals we made our first topic list.

 We have learned all about our 5 senses this week during science.  It was been fun talking about ways that we explore the world around us by using our senses.
