Fall Fun

The Kindergarten students have been so busy learning this week!  We have FNISHED our Jolly Phonics program!  Continue to review the Jolly Phonics sounds (especially the double letter sounds) periodically at home.  Our students are working very hard to earn the black sound ribbon (producing all 42 Jolly Phonics sounds).  We have been learning about story elements this week!  We learned that characters are the important people, animals, or things in a story.  We have been identifying the characters in the books we are reading in class.  The students have also been working hard to retell the story in order.  I am proud of their hard work.

Writer's Workshop is becoming a favorite part of our Kindergarten day!  We have a lot of amazing authors in our classroom.  The students brainstormed a list of ideas that we can use when we are stuck and don't know what to write about.  The students have learned how to write a title for their stories.  We have been working hard to write a beginning sentence that tells who, where, and when.  The students are having so much fun creating books!

The Kindergarten kids have been working very hard to create and extend patterns.  We have learned how to make many different kinds of patterns.  The students have learned how to name patterns using letters and numbers!  We have enjoyed making patterns with M & M's, candy corn/pumpkins, and other fun snacks!

One of our favorite activities of the week was making words with letter Cheeze-its!  The students worked hard to make three and four letter words.  Enjoy looking at the pictures below of this fun activity!  THANK YOU to all of the paretns who donated fun snacks for us to use this week while learning!
