Sept. 19

Morning Meeting-We did the Silly Pirate Song for our movement. For our quick share we shared our favorite activity we did this week-some favorites were playing on the playground and writers workshop.
Specials-We had music today.
Read Aloud-We read "Here Are My Hands"
Shared Reading-Hickory Dickory Dock
Reading Activities-We introduced Ii and Jj. We have been learning the letters in sign language as we introduce them. We made itty bitty dots for our letter Ii page in our ABC book we are making. We will do Jazzy Js on Monday. We started our Kindergarten Memory books. We drew our self portraits.
Writer's Workshop-We did an interactive story. I told the story and the students helped me spell my words. We brainstormed new writing ideas. We talked about what to do when we were finished with a story. We had time to write and share. We had stories about places we are going this weekend, along with things we like to do. We had some pet and family stories. The kids are very excited about their writing. Ask your child what he/she wrote about today.
Rest Time-We listened to the story Follow That Bear
Math-We did our calendar books. We also made block towers with 20 blocks. We compared them with a neighbor. We then took blocks off one by one and counted backwards from 20 to 0. We counted back up to 10 and then made a 2nd tower of 10. Then we decided that 10 blocks plus 10 blocks equals 20 blocks.
We finished our day with some outside time. Have a great weekend.
