What a great way to start our Monday with a two hour delay! I hope everyone enjoyed the extra rest this morning!
We came in and got right to work with our morning work this morning! The activity asked the kids to write their own story and illustration. Most of the kids wrote just basic sentences, but that is fine. They also had to match pictures on the other side of the worksheet. We discussed the connection each picture had.
Following morning work we had our morning board time. Then we had lunch!
After lunch we shared what we did over the weekend and had a short read aloud before heading to the gym to practice for our Kindergarten program!
After practice we had language arts time! Today we continued our discussion on ABC order and completed a worksheet! I am VERY impressed! The kids worked independently to complete the ABC order worksheet and ALL did a GREAT job! We will continue to stress ABC order throughout the remainder of the year!
After completing the ABC order sheet the kids got time for silent reading or read with a partner. They are all doing such a great job during this time and it is great to see them excited to read in the pit!
We had outside recess today which was great!
Following recess we had our math time. We started off with our hot pencils math test. I am very impressed with the amount of students passing each day! Then we worked in our April math books. Following the April math books we discussed different ways to get to ten. This is review but it is an important standard for students to master in Kindergarten. We completed a worksheet to go along with this discussion. Everyone did a great job during this time! We finished math with some Mclass practice. The Mclass testing will begin next week so we will spend a little time each day reviewing the main concepts that will be tested. I am confident that ALL students will do very well on the math testing!
We finished our day with science! Today we discussed seeds and how a plant grows from the beginning! We started our baggy seed growing activity today and discussed how we will observe it over the next couple of weeks! We also had some reading from our science big book today! These kids are really excited about growing and plants and trees! I love discussing and answering questions they come up with during our science time!
I sent home the script for the play today. Remember not all students have speaking parts, and if they are not involved in this play they will be involved with other parts of the Kindergarten program! If your students has lines please practice with them at home!!
Please continue to read and work on math and writing at home each night! 
Have a great evening! Enjoy the weather!
