Dots and things

This week we read The Dot.  Students loved making dots with watercolors, paint, dot markers and cork. 

We also had a lot of fun with our new math game, Roll and Record.  Students are working on identifying dot images. Then we record the number of dots on our recording sheet.

As we begin to settle in to our schedule it has been fun to watch learning happen in both formal and informal settings.  Below are some photos that capture what we have been working on this week.

Community Helpers

This was a very busy week.  We finished our review of colors and began a social studies unit on community.  The highlight of the week was a visit from our local fire department.  All of the kindergarten students enjoyed learning about their job and reviewing fire safety with them!

Building our Reading muscles!

This week we really worked on building our reading muscles! We talked about why it is so important for us to become good readers and 3 ways to read a book.  Reading-To-Self is one way we build our reading muscles.  This week we were able to read for 6 minutes without stopping! Below are some photos of what Read-To-Self looks like in our classroom.
