Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week we began our Fundations program, and learned about important practices such as how to hold our writing tools and have proper body posture, as well as how to "sky write" our letters. At the end of the week the students were introduced to the letter "T"! We also practiced reading the high frequency words to and the.
Math
We continue to build our number sense in math as we explore numbers to 5. Last week we showed the numbers 1-5 on our five frame mats, and used our fingers to show how many boxes were full and how many were empty. At the end of the week we learned some fun number formation poems to help us with writting these numbers.
Writer's Workshop
Last week in Writer's Workshop we practiced a very important pre-writing skill, drawing! We learned that shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles can be used to make pictures (and people too!).
Special Guests
Last week we also welcomed many special guests into our classroom and school! We kicked off (literally) with a karate assembly!
On Wednesday, Kindergarteners enjoyed a visit from Officer Hart and Rebel who taught us about school safety.
The children also enjoyed meeting Mrs. Arnold, Boyden's new Digital Learning Coach! Mrs. Arnold taught us how to take care of our Chromebook computers and helped with the tricky process of logging in for the first time, bootcamp style! If she happens to look a little familiar, it's because Mrs. Arnold is my twin sister!
On Wednesday Mrs. Audet, one of Boyden's school counselors, came by for our first guidance/SEL lesson! She reviewed the Boyden behavior expectations and taught us about her job as a school counselor. She also introduced a new school-wide incentive about spreading positive gossip, or sharing the great things we notice about others!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to watch us learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
