Cateripllars are GREEN

This week we finished up our study of out 5 senses.  This morning we had so much fun visiting all of the different Kindergarten classrooms and learning about a different one of our senses in each one.

 In our classroom we studies our sense of taste.  We learned that things can taste sweet, salty, bitter or sour!

 Our word wall words this week were green and me.  We talked about all of the different words we can read if we know the word me, for example be, the, she, he we...

 We played lots of fun counting games in math like roll and record, grab and count, and we practiced subitizing with ten frames.

 We practiced sharing our writing.  WE learned that when you share writing there has to be a listener and a reader/writer.  The listeners job is to think of questions to ask that would help the reader/writer make their story better. 

 We had fun working in afternoon centers.  We are learning how to problem solve when we have a problem with a friend.  It is always important to ask the friend to stop before reporting to an adult. 

 This afternoon we had a special visit from our second grade book buddies.

 Keep practicing those pencil grips.  It takes a while to retrain a hand that has a formed a bad habit. 

 
In hand writing we practiced the letters R,N, and the number 2.  We also talked about pushing down on our pencil when we write so that we can make straight lines.

Next week we will be talking about Nursery Rhymes and the color yellow.  We will also add the word the to the word wall. 

Have a fantastic weekend!  Enjoy the cooler weather!
