Snow Outside, Shaving Cream Inside!

What a nice week we've had!  Everyone came back well-rested and ready to go!  We have been buzzing along with our literacy and math work.  The kids have been labeling everything they can using their best "kindergarten spelling."  Our friend Mabel also gave us a new tool...Word Wallets to keep all of our frequency words in.  We will use those to practice every day.    PLEASE KEEP SENDING THE TOILET PAPER, PAPER TOWEL AND WRAPPING PAPER ROLLS!  WE NEED A LOT OF THEM!

AND NOW A WORD FROM THE KIDS...

We played with shaving cream.  We loved it so much. We made snowmen.  We wrote letters and words.   Shaving cream cleans tables.  It makes dried glue get soft again and you can wipe it off.  We LOVE shaving cream! 

 





We did some labeling.  How we do it is we look at the picture and try to sound the word to make that whole big word.  We use kindergarten spelling.  We write down the letters we hear in the words.   We can label and learn to make new words.  It helps us when we write stories.  

We sorted pictures by their first sound.  This week we had some tricky letters: Q,Y,C,U,D and E.  One of the pictures was UNDERWEAR!  We thought that was SOOOOOO funny!

Mrs. Rundle came to talk to us.  She taught us not to eat snow.  She said we should not throw snowballs.  We can't throw ice either.  That's really important.  Ice is really hard.  There are no snowball fights at Chamberlin School.  Mrs. Rundle wants us to be safe on the playground.  

This is a third grader who came to read to us. Her name is Lexi. She is a good reader.  She was in Mrs. Brown's kindergarten too.  She learned how to read from Mrs. Brown.  She likes to read to us.  She showed us every picture.
