Oh what fun we've been having in room 3! This week, we started our brand new phonics program. We've been singing, sorting letter sounds, and studying our names. We've also had a lot of fun reading "familiar books." These are books that we've read together several times (I bet you have some at home...) The children are so familiar with them that they can "read" them all by themselves. This is a very important early reading skill.
For the first time this week, we did some shared writing and worked on our blog TOGETHER! My goal is for this to be a regular part of our week, with kids explaining, in their own words, what we did in kindergarten. Enjoy!
And now a word from the kids...
We made these bumblebees. They are hanging on the wall. It was fun to make them. They make the classroom beautiful. They help us to remember to be safe, be respectful and be responsible.
We filled the hive! Everybody at Chamberlin School traded Bee Bucks for honey cells to fill our hive. It takes TEN Bee Bucks to earn ONE honey cell! We will celebrate with Rainbow Day on Tuesday, September 25. Everyone should wear their rainbow colors.
We like to play with blocks. Our 5th grade buddies helped us to make this castle.
We use the geo-boards to make cool shapes. You can make a lot of different shapes with rubber bands that are all different colors.
We have a lot of Legos. We LOVE to build with them.
We LOVE play dough. This week we used it at choice time. We used letter cookie cutters with the play dough. We work together to clean up when we are done.
We love to do art. We love to paint. We painted these Rainbow Fish after we read the story. The Rainbow Fish taught us about sharing.
