Welcome to our new classroom blog! Instead of the weekly paper newsletter, I will begin posting our classroom activities and news on this page so that parents can access it whenever they wish. Check here often for news of classroom events, items of interest to your child and family, and pictures of the activities we have been doing in our classroom. Please feel free to contact me with any feedback you might have that will help me make this blog the most helpful to you.
Our Week In Kindergarten
We have had a very busy week finishing up our apples unit and starting a unit of Fall. We are also continuing our Alphabet Training Academy. This week we did our quick review of the letters B, C, D, and E.
In science we learned about the changes that occur in Fall. Our anchor story this week was The Colors of Fall. After we read the story we made this chart to show all of the changes we read about in the story.
In math, we measured everyone to see how many apples tall they are. We are putting these into a book that the kids will each get a turn to take home and share with their families. Our "apple" measuring stick is outside the office so any Lemmer student can see how many apples tall they are and write it on the chart next the the stick. Here a couple of samples of our measurements.
Also for math, we watched a story on You Tube by Dr. Seuss called 10 Apples Up on Top. We used the story to review the numbers 1-10 and then made our own version of the book with our pictures and apple cut-outs. These will be put into a class book that the kids can take turns taking home to share as well.
Here is our September quilt that we made from squares and triangles. We will make a different quilt each month.
Our Students of the Month for September were Brody and Reanna. They have been terrific this month at making good choices and being model citizens. Sophie was our student who was "Caught Being Good" this month. Sophie has also been a great example of positive behavior choices this month. Good Job Kids!
Lion/Packer Friday was an exciting day at Lemmer. We made a graph to show which team has the most fans. Here is our wall graph with our football people. The Packers had more fans but the Lions still came out on top in the game!
