First Week

We had so much fun starting Spirit Week off with our pajamas! They loved doing our class/school activities in their pajamas, especially gym! We learned about our third Daily 5 Choice: Word Work. They practiced putting the alphabet in order, matching upper and lower case letters, and putting together letter puzzles. We continued to practice Read to Self and Work on Writing. We also learned Sight Word Set 1: to, it, me, I, a. In gym, they learned a new chase game. They wore flags and had to pull off their friends' flags. To end our day, we tasted apple bread, which we loved, and wrote the ingredients we thought were in the bread.

We had a great sports day! We continued to practice our Daily 5 Choices, and the kindergarteners are having a fun time with our new choice, Word Work. We also added books to our book bins from the classroom library. This was a very exciting time today! They were able to go through the library bins and choose books to read during Read to Self time. We also learned more about apples and began to learn about how they grow.

We had a Wild, Wacky Wednesday! We began our day by peeling and coring apples to make applesauce. Each student was able to use the apple peeler/corer to help make our applesauce. They loved this! During snack, we taste-tested green, yellow, and red apples to see which flavor we liked best. Most liked yellow! We also completed an apple sequencing project showing how apples grow on trees. To end our day, we completed an apple art project and tasted our homemade applesauce. It was a big hit!

We had a great Career Day! We began our day by doing an apple math/art project. We continued to make our Daily 5 Choices. To end our day, we completed a fall art project. We made an acorn and wrote about what our favorite things in fall are.

Today, we showed our PAWS Pride by wearing blue and gold! We finished our apple math/art project and completed two apple math sheets. During Daily 5, we continued to practice our choices. Our fall acorns also got put up to help decorate the hallway! To end our day, we rainbow wrote our first sight word set. They are getting very good at reading them!
