Hello Room 27 Families!
We had a busy week in Kindergarten. We are working on being safe at school. Mrs. Barreto came to visit us and did a lesson on safety. We are also working on being respectful. Please ask your kiddo if they have earned the Respectful Rhino!
NEXT WEEK:
Monday, November 24th- Library books are due.
Wednesday- Early Dismissal. Lunch will not be served, but the kiddos need a water bottle and snack please.
We continue to work on literacy centers. We worked on letter identification, sound/symbol correspondence, rhyming, slate work, LEXIA, and fine motor skills. The children seemed to enjoy this and each week we will add in different activities. We continue to work on our UFLI lessons. The children are working with slates for writing and trays for letter/sound work. So far we have learned the letters: A, C, D, F, I, M, N, O, P, S, T, and U.
During Wit and Wisdom, we just read Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom and Rap a Tap, Tap- Bojangles.
The kiddos loved watching videos of a former student of mine that is at Columbia University and was just recognized as the World Champion in tap dancingPlease enjoy the video of Kaiden Currie:

We continued to work on literacy centers. We worked on letter identification, sound/symbol correspondence, rhyming, slate work, LEXIA, and fine motor skills. The children seemed to enjoy this and each week we will add in different activities. We started our UFLI lessons and the children are working with slates for writing and trays for letter/sound work. We learned the letters: A,M,S,T, and P.
During Wit and Wisdom we read the story titled My Five Senses. We learned how to Turn and Talk with a peer to share our thinking/thoughts about smell and taste. We will continue this Unit over the next couple of weeks.
In math, we worked writing our number. We learned 1-5. It would be beneficial for the kiddos if they practice writing their numbers at home.
Here are the poems that we use to help with number formation:
1.Number 1 is like a stick. A straight line that is very quick.
2. Around and back on the railroad track. Two, two, Two, two!
3. Around a tree. Around a tree. That’s the way to make the number three!
4. Down and over, Down once more. That’s the way to make a four!
5. Straight line down, then around. Hat on top and five’s a clown!
Each Monday morning I ask the children to share about their weekend. Please practice this with your child. It is so fun to hear what the kiddos do outside of school, even if they just have a chill weekend at home!
Have a great weekend!

Hello Room 27 Families!
We had a busy week in Kindergarten. Some kiddos have been struggling with showing respect and listening this week. I know it is the week of Halloween and kids are excited, but I asked Mrs. Barreto to visit us.

Please ask your kiddo about this as it will support me in teaching the class. Thank you.
