Fire Alarm Fun!
I can't stop singing the praises of our class and how well they handled last week's unexpected fire alarm. We often talk about being flexible in our class, and this really put their flexibility to the test! Please note that picture retake day will take place on November 10th. We tried to stay as clean and dry as possible, but some of us definitely got a little wind-blown (me included! 🤚).
An unexpected hour outside gave us lots of time for singing and dancing!
Welcome Mrs. Rinaldi!
We welcomed Boyden's math coach, Mrs. Rinaldi, to Room 115 last week! Mrs. Rinaldi introduced to ST Math, a computer based program which we will use throughout the year to practice and strengthen our math skills. The students enjoyed learning all about ST Math and starting to solve puzzles!
Into Reading
Last week in our Into Reading program we read the book Schools Around the World by Clare Lewis, and continued to answer the essential question: What will I discover in Kindergarten? Last week's lessons also introduced us to the genre of informational text, and had us identifying the central idea of various books. In phonics we learned about the letter a, and read the sight words I and the. We also practiced reading the color word blue. It sure was a busy week for learning new skills!
The class practiced writing the word the while also creating some beautiful fall artwork for our classroom bulletin board!
Math
In math we completed the first unit in our new Bridges curriculum! Last week's lessons focused on patterns. The class learned that patterns are colors, pictures, words, or movements that repeat.
Writing
In writing we continued to learn about drawing people by using shapes that we know. Last week's lessons also focused on adding details such as hairstyles and facial expressions.
A Peek Inside Specials!
The class had a great time learning new fall themed songs and games! 𝅘𝅥𝅮
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! 🚌📖🍎
