Today the children wrapped up their Literacy Station exploration on the book, Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. In the story, Chrysanthemum is picked on at school because her name is too long. We tied our book discussion into our Open Circle lesson for this week and discussed how making fun of someone can be called bullying. We also talked about dangerous and destructive behaviors in and out of the classroom. The students all agree that making fun of someone or bullying them is a form of dangerous and destructive behaviors and is not okay.
We have continued to practice our Barrows School Pledge as well as school song during our mornings. On Wednesdays the children meet up for Sing-Along practice with the other two kindergarten classes. There, the children sing our school songs, fall songs, and songs about the alphabet and counting. It is a nice way to come together as a team and relax a bit!
In math we have formed numbers up to the number 6. We are still singing our "Skip To My Lou" tune to help up remember how the numbers are formed correctly.
In Fundations we have now taught t, b, f, n, m, and now i. We talked today about how "i" is a vowel letter and we often see it in between two other letters called consonants.
In Writer's Workshop we have continued becoming great storytellers. We know that in order to be a great writer, you must be a great storyteller first with LOTS of details. Our stories right now are still in the form of beautiful illustrations. Today we told true stories about things we like to do in the fall and then illustrated our thoughts.
We will be attending the Book Fair this Thursday from 9:30-10. Parents are welcome to join!
Have a FABULOUS WEEK!
