We had a great day here in kindergarten! This morning we worked on two more mystery letters! Our alphabet is almost complete! We started with the letter U,u. Ask your child to show the gesture we use for the letter U,u sound. We pretend we are umbrella birds. We looked at some pictures of umbrella birds as well. On our papers we added umbrellas and unicorns to our letters.
Our second Mystery Letter of the day was J,j. We oohed and ahhed over the jewels that we glued onto our papers!
We built up our reading stamina to 7 minutes today! What a terrific accomplishment! Tomorrow we will add Listen to Reading in as a choice during our Daily 5 time. Check back tomorrow to learn more about our Listen to Reading choice. Here are some friends who were caught doing some great reading!
In math today we talked about a big math word: attributes. We sorted our classmates using attributes such as hair color and shoe type.
Then we read a story about a boy and his grandmother's button box. The story talked about all the different ways the boy sorted the buttons. We returned to our tables and sorted our very own pile of buttons. Here is how we sorted them:
By shape:
By color:
By number of holes:
By size:
This afternoon we worked a bit in our journals. We also had computer class with Mrs. Garrett and a kindness lesson with Mr. Tinjum, where we learned about the word empathy.
Have a great evening!
Love,
Mrs. Huettl
