We had a wonderful second week in Kindergarten! The students are continuing to learn to listen and follow directions. We are still practicing taking care of materials and putting them away, as well as using them independently.
We continued our centers time projects daily. The students are getting used to the routines of following their daily job list and completing their projects. You will notice that they have brought home letter books b and t. We will be using these books along with our Fundations units to learn our letters and sounds. You can keep these books at home to practice reading and reinforce sounds.
During our centers we have also started journal writing, learned different poems, and completed art projects. We have been working on an individual innovation of Brown Bear, Brown Bear. The students are illustrating their own books. These books will be nice to keep as well to practice with the familiar and predictable text, perfect for oral fluency.
In math we are still working on Topic 1: numbers from 1-5. The math papers that have been coming home will hopefully help you to see what we are doing in math. There is a homework piece attached that sometimes we will complete in class. Other times you can complete it at home with your child if you would like. It does not have to be returned to class.
The notice for our Franklin Park Zoo field trip went home on Friday. Please send in the $6 to cover the cost of the field trip as soon as possible. Checks can be made out to Francis Wyman Kindergarten.
Please let me know if I made any typos on the class directory that went home last week.
As the weather gets cooler we will still continue to go outside. Please make sure that you label your students hats, sweatshirts, jackets etc. with his or her name. It can help at the end of the day with any confusion! Also, please practice with your child putting on his or her jacket and other outside gear. It will save us some time getting everyone ready for recess!
Check back to the blog often! I will try and post as many pictures as I can of our days here at Francis Wyman!
