A look at our week

It may have been a short week due to Labor Day on Monday, but so much learning has occurred!

Our canvases that we started at Kindergarten registration back in March and finished once school started are finally hung in the Kindergarten hallway!  Every Kindergartener's handprint is on these canvases and will be an awesome reminder of the first Kindergarten class to ever go through Beulah Ralph Elementary!  

We continue to practice the Pledge of Allegiance and get better every day!  Just working on those big, hard words and figuring out which hand is supposed to go over our heart.  

 Math

During Math time we continued to learn about 2-D shapes. Next week we will focus on 3-D shapes.  Please look in your child's Friday Folder to see which 2-D shapes they know and which ones they still need to practice. Above Lydia, Kenzi and Emma show off their pattern block puzzles that they completed with 2-D shapes.

Morning Work

 Learning our shapes and working on our fine motor skills with play-dough

More fine motor skills and cognitive skills through puzzles

Fine motor and cognitive skills by using colored popsicle sticks and matching them to the colors and layouts on their boards.

Learning our letters by building them with snap cubes.  Another great fine motor skills activity!

A few more things from our week:

*Learning how to draw people using various shapes during writing workshop

*We added another word to our word wall.  The word "I."  Just like "a", we learned that "I" can be a letter or a word.  We also learned that when "I" is a word by itself, it must be an uppercase "I"  

*During Shared Reading we read the big book What I Like and the poem I am me.  Both had the word "I" in it on every page or every line of the poem

Don't forget to send in a 4x6 family photo in a small frame to add to your child's cubby! We love the ones sent in so far!  It helps bring a little bit of "home" to the classroom!  

Have a great weekend!  Keep reading and filling out your child's September reading log!
