Last Week In Kindergarten...

We had a very busy week last week! Everyone is getting used to the routine and we are becoming more independent as we work.  One activity the students really like is journal writing.  We learned about writing the date at calendar time and have been practicing in our journals.  After that the kiddos "get comfortable" somewhere in our room and write words they see around the room or practice printing the alphabet.

 

 



We also have a really good time doing our calendar.  We are learning the days of the week as well as working on the terms yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  At calendar time we practice our alphabet flashcards and counting to 20 forwards and backwards.  Best of all, someone is chosen as the meteorologist and gets to report the weather using the microphone!

The house projects we did last week were absolutely fabulous!  Everyone who came to visit our room was so impressed with our creativity!  Make sure to continue practicing your address with your child.

 

 

 

 

Another fun activity last week was our visit from the DENTIST!  Dr. Hollen from Southwest Kids Dentistry came by our room to teach us all about taking care of our teeth.

Brushing the alligator's teeth.  LOOK OUT!  That alligator can spit pretty far!





Flossing is very important because Sugar Bugs like to hide between our teeth.







 

  Doin' the Dentist Dance!

 

Finally,  we have finished individual activities with each letter of the alphabet.  We will continue to review letters and letter sounds as we begin learning how to put sounds together to make words!  It is so important that you read with and to your child every single day and also

 

 encourage them to find and read words on their own.
