Sept. 9

*Today the students walked down to class on their own. If your child arrives at school before 8:05, he/she will still need to meet at the meeting place sign until the bell rings. After the bell rings, the staff will dismiss students by grade levels. If your child arrives after the 8:05 bell, he/she can walk to class.
Specials- Phy. Ed with Mrs. Lingo & Library with Mrs. Hasti
Morning Meeting-Movement activity-Couch Potato Pokey; Quick Share- How did I get to school?
Read Aloud-Animals on the Bus (interactive story) Each student got an animal. When the animal was called, he/she brought the animal up to the book.
Class Book-After reading the Animals on the bus, each student got a class book page to illustrate. We put all of our pages together to make our own class book called "Animals on the Bus".
Rest Time-We listened to "The Kissing Hand"
Math-Calendar
We also introduced coins. We talked about the penny, nickel, dime and quarter. We played a penny game using the plus and minus signs on a dice. If the student got a plus, she/he put a penny in the ice cube tray. If the student got a minus, she/he took a penny out. The player with their side of the ice cube tray filled won that game.
Social-Bus Safety-We reviewed all of the bus safety rules today. The kindergarteners already knew lots of the bus safety rules. We made bus safety posters after discussing all of the rules. We will meet with Mrs. Myers from the transportation department to go over bus rules on Thursday.
We finished our day with playing on the playground. We got out some new playground toys-jump ropes, chalk, balls, footballs.
