Curriculum Update:
Into Reading
Last week in our Into Reading curriculum we read the books Kindergarten Kids by Stephanie Calmenson and School Bus by Donald Crews. Both of these texts helped us continue to answer the essential question: What will I discover in Kindergarten? We also explored the genre of poetry and the story elements of characters, settings, and events.
Fundations
In Fundations we learned all about the letters m and n and were introduced to the sight/heart word I. Our color of the week was green!
We had a great time playing Guess my Letter with all of the letters that have been introduced so far!
Math
Last week in math we practiced counting numbers to 10! The ten frame was a major focus of our instruction, and by the end of the week the students were getting very efficient at recognizing numbers in ten frames quickly. They also enjoyed playing two new games called "Beat you to Five" which had the students identifying how many more cubes were needed to make 5, and "Who Will Win?" a game which provides the children with number writing practice.
Special Guests
Last week we also welcomed many special guests into our classroom! First up was Mrs. Audet, one of Boyden's amazing school counselors, who taught her first SEL lesson of the school year. Her lesson focused on calming strategies and using rainbow breathing. We can't wait for Mrs. Audet visit Room 115 again next month!
We also enjoyed a visit from Boyden's Digital Learning Coach, Mrs. Arnold! Mrs. Arnold taught the students all about their Chromebook computers and helped us log in for the very first time! 💻
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! 🍎📖🚌
