WE TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES
WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
WE TAKE CARE OF THIS PLACE
Welcome to our classroom blog!
The children and I will post weekly about our classroom learning and play experiences.
The blog will also keep you informed of important CCS dates and events.
Highlights of the Week
We had a great week! The children are quickly learning classroom routines and how to engage as a respectful and productive community of learners. Furthermore, the children are so enthusiastic about learning how to read, write and work with numbers. We are going to have a very successful year learning and playing together in Kindergarten!
Literacy Highlights
We are already on our way to becoming readers and writers! Our focus this week was on reading and writing our names, reading the alphabet, making connections between letters and sounds, rhyming, counting syllables, and reading together with predictable charts and books.
Math Highlights
Our focus this week was on oral counting, using our math hands, working with five frames, naming shapes and extending patterns. We also had multiple opportunities to explore with math materials that will become Workplace Stations in the weeks to come.
Friendly Reminders
Please send your children to school with water bottles.
Please help your children pack their Peace Time (Quiet Time) towels every Monday morning. I will send towels home on Fridays to be washed.
Please send your children to school in sneakers on Physical Education days - Wednesdays and Thursdays.
