Our First Full Week

Kindergarten is an exciting place to be. We completed our first week. I asked the students to tell me what to include in our blog about our first full week.  Here is what they shared.

We had fun.
We put numbers on the calendar.
We went to the library and we listened to a story.
We went to music and we played instruments.
We wrote numbers.

In reading we are focusing on details in a story. Writing about our week gave us the chance to think about telling the details of our week.

We have read many stories this week. Here are the covers of two stories we read. The students loved to make the animal sounds from Mice Squeak, We Speak. We followed up Here Are My Hands by making hand prints. Thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers who helped with the hand prints!

As part of our study of shapes we made creations with the shape blocks. We also played shape in a bag where students have to guess the shape by feeling it. They have to complete the sentence, "I think it is a _______ because __________. This is challenging for the students because they have to use describing words but they really enjoy it.
