Kindergarten Fall Centers

Yesterday we had fun learning about fall in our Kindergarten classrooms.  Thank you to the parent helpers, we couldn't have done it without you!

Gardening

Yesterday the students in both classes were able to go outside and tend to the JBD strawberry gardens.  Each class will be taking care of a strawberry plant, last year all of our hard work produced the best plant in the whole garden.  We were picking and eating strawberries for weeks! The students will revisit the garden in the spring on a weekly basis.  Our AM gardening mom is Mrs. Stephenson and our PM gardening moms are Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Frey.

Mystery Reader

Today we had a big brother birthday Mystery Reader, a grandmother Mystery Reader, and a daddy in disguise! We love having visitors come to our class and read us one of their favorite books.

Vowel Bat


Color Songs

Learning through song

We have been learning about color words and vowels for the past few weeks through songs.  The students are practicing spelling their color words as well as their vowel sounds.

Small Group Instruction

Our days go by very quickly as most of our time is spent in small group instruction where the students are working with Mrs. Fleeharty, independently, and with me. The students work on tasks that are differientated for their groups ability. Ask your child what they did in small group today!

Read to Self

Each class has been working hard to build their reading stamina during Read to Self time. Our AM class has build their stamina to 10 minutes and our PM class to 12 minutes. During Read to Self time students read from their book bags while remembering our Read to Self rules of sitting by yourself, staying in one spot, reading quietly, and reading the whole time. We have learned that "reading a book" means lots of things. You can read the pictures, read the words, or retell a story you know. I am proud of all the students hard work!
