Our first full week is in the books and what a wonderful week it was. We started getting into the full swing of evrything and after just a few short days other teachers were commenting on how amazed they were with our fantastic group of kinders!
Writing our names with correct captial and lowercase letters is a big change for many of us. We celebrated our capital by making a fancy one! It was also a great time to talk about using scissor safety.
We are writers! We had a great time starting writing workshop. We discussed all the ways we can write. Please ask your child about the very important MAGC LINE.
Navigating our center rotation system was a big step! We have to find our name and move independently to that center. You know what? We are doing an excellent job!
We had so much fun reading many David books by David Shannon. We loved making the puppets and acting out different parts of the books. David sure is silly! Funny how many of his family and school rules are just like ours.
Another big step was taking care of our own mail. We have mailboxes that we have to put our folders and any papers in. If there is anything in our folder that needs to be turned in we can put it right on top. We organize our own papers and pack it up too. This is a lot of responsibility but we are figuring it out. Remembering our folders every day is really important!!
With our beautiful warm days, we have been enjoying our playground too. It is fun to play with so many other CIS friends. There is even a Little Free Library for those that would like to read in the sun.
