September 12-16, 2011

Thank you so much for coming last night!  It was great to see all of you and give you a sneak peak of Kindergarten.  Enjoy the beautiful weekend!  Autumn is right around the corner.  :) 
KM’s Week in Review: 
Monday: 
Today we read a book titled Ten Apples Up on Top!  We had fun putting the numbers 1-10 in order.  We also celebrated our unique names by writing them in fun ways.  The students were introduced to the question mark and questions.  The weather was so beautiful we were able to go outside for a morning recess. 


Tuesday:
We were really busy today!  It was interesting learning about how apples grow.  It is hard to believe they begin as a beautiful, pink flower!  We also made apple mobiles that are decorating our classroom.  We visited questions again by discussing words that begin a question.  For example: why, how, can etc.  We are still talking about shapes and the shapes we see in our world around us. 


Wednesday:
Apples!  Apples!  Apples!  Today in math, we graphed our favorite type of apple.  It was fun to do and the Red Delicious apple won!  We also continued to talk about questions and had a fun time creating silly questions.  Do YOU like ketchup on your cornflakes?  We continue to work on building our reading to self stamina in Daily 5.

Thursday:
Today we read another non-fiction book on apples and made an apple book.  In Writer’s Workshop, we talked about how authors get their ideas for their stories.  We found it was easy to think of story ideas!  We are all authors, illustrators and readers.  J  In math, we discussed counting forwards and backwards and how numbers are all around us. 

Friday:
We read a couple different books about Johnny Appleseed and had fun learning about his adventures.  We also spent some time discussion the Constitution and what it means to America.  In Science, we looked at the inside of an apple and labeled the parts.  Mr. Popovich kept us very busy in PE and Mrs. Bader had us creating beautiful pictures in art. 



All About Me:

Coming soon. . . . .

Reminders:
Please send in a baby picture of your child on Monday, September 19th.  We will be doing a fun activity.  The picture will be returned to you.
