We love recess!

Sept. 17, 2010

Today we learned about the letter Mm. The kids also got their first "homework" to do this weekend. Your child should have a zipper pouch in his/her folder. Please follow the directions inside. Have fun! Today we had music and library. We read a story called "Seals on the Bus" We sang a song called "Animals on the Bus". We made our own animals on the bus art project. We played a math game called "roll the number". The directions were to roll the dice, count the dots, and write the number. Aiden brought 2 tree frogs and a small lizard in a cage for us to check out.

Ms. Petersmeyer and Ms. Nelson came into our room to talk about school rules, spreading kindness and Rocket Pride. Part of Rocket Pride is taking care of our school and keeping it clean. They also read a story about filling up people's buckets. Ask your child if he/she filled up someone's bucket today. We practiced counting back from 10 in math. We also practiced writing our numbers from 10 to 0. We practiced making the letter Tt. We listened to a story called "My Friends". Then we drew a picture of our favorite part and we drew a picture of something it reminded us of in our own lives. We had a great day!

We used our crayons to measure things even ourselves and our friends. We introduced the letter Aa. We went on an Aa hunt around our classroom. We had a very fun day!

Day 3 of School

We had another fun day in kindergarten. We read "I Love School". We made posters after reading the story. We drew self portraits and added the words "I Love School" to our posters along with our names. We wrote the capital letter ABCs. We went to art with Mrs. Weber. The kindergarten students said their favorite part of the day was...lunch, outside, monkey bars, playground, art and everything! We also took our first group picture on the playground which I hope to have posted soon.
