This morning we worked on addition and coloring in the numbers to reveal a picture. The kids enjoyed this and it was great to see them taking their time to work on it! We did not finish so I collected it and we will work on it again next week!
We had morning meeting and calender time. We completed everything on the morning board!
We had sing-a-long next with the entire Kindergarten! We are practicing our songs for the Kindergarten program in May.
We had two center rotations today. I used this time to practice the Dibels testing format with individuals. The practice run is turning out great with most in green!
After centers we had a read aloud with Mrs. Peaks class!
Following lunch we read a chapter from our Magic Treehouse book!
During our math time today we practiced turn around facts on the whiteboard, had a 3 minute math test, and worked with base ten blocks to make numbers. We discussed place value for tens and ones during this time. There were 4 students who struggled in the beginning and it was awesome to see them gain and understanding of the use of base ten blocks today! Math went well today!!
Following math time we had our fairy tale time block. Our listened to Jack and the Beanstalk, and then made Jack or the Giant! While reading we discussed story elements. The kids were excited to color their own giant or Jack! These turned out good!! They will have the opportunity to make the other character next week!
This took us until the end of the day when we packed up and finished with art!
The kids are doing an awesome job during partner read/read to self! This picture shows them reading in the pit! They really are doing a great job! It is fun to just sit and listen to them read! Their favorite books are still my Dr. Seuss collection!!
This was a great week here in Kindergarten! I am actually looking forward to our testing times next week because I am confident that these kids will do a GREAT job! It will be exciting to see the result of their hard work all year! These tests also give us an idea of area's we can better improve on through the remainder of the school year!
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
