Our kindergarten days have been busy getting to know each other and establishing routines.
Here are some highlights
We......
drew self portraits and wrote our names for a class book
made a name chart and shared what we noticed about it
learned the names of the different pieces we use to make capital letters; little line, big line, little curve, big curve
read Going on a Bear Hunt and then sang a bear hunt song
read I Like Myself and shared something that makes us special
decorated people to look like ourselves and hung them in the hallway
met Mrs. VanAlstine, our school librarian
had our first music class with Mrs. Townsend
went to our first art class and met Mrs. Landry
named our class the "Shining Shooting Stars"
independently hung up backpacks, put yellow take home folders into the yellow basket, and signed up for lunch
had free share
learned the "Pop Up Song"
practiced using glue sticks and scissors
played on the playground
explored pattern blocks
learned about our calendar and number of the day routines
The children helped me create our classroom rules. This is what they came up with.
1. Keep the classroom neat.
2. Be kind to our friends and our things.
3. Stay safe.
4. Use quiet voice inside.
It has been a great start to the year! I am super excited.
