Can you believe it is already the third week of school? I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend and had some extra time to spend with their families. This week we read the story 'The Little Red Hen' and we are in the process of painting a little red hen to bring home. Earlier this week the kindergarteners tore red, green and brown paper to glue onto an apple. We are going to start our apple unit next week. This week we started our 'blue book'. During blue book we learn skills such as rhyming, initial and ending sounds and counting words in a sentence. These skills will help us as we start to read. We also started fundations. During fundations we are learning the lowercase letter names, sounds and letter formation. We started with letters t,b, and f. Next week we are going to be learning n and m. Thank you for any extra help from home in learning the letters and thank you also for sending back homework folders and the All About Me bags! The yellow folders will come home again next Monday. In math we are learning about same and difference. Yesterday the kindergarteners had to decide what was the same and what was different about pictures on the smartboard. They discovered that it may be the same picture such as two bears except it was different because it was a different size. We continue to learn our I-Care rules throughout the day. So far we've learned:
1. We listen to each other.
2. Hands are for helping, not hurting.
3. We use I-Care language (kind words).
Next week Mrs. DiBenedetto will start coming to all of the classrooms to introduce us to I-Care cat and review the I-Care rules with us.
Enjoy the weekend and sunshine!
