Exciting news

Today one of our butterflies emerged from a chrysalis.   The students thought it was beyond amazing. I will post pictures of our new classroom friend tomorrow when we leave it go. 

3rd week

What a busy week we had in K4. 

We explored the following this week:

- Environmental print. This is print we see around us all the time. It might be restaurant logos, store logos, movie titles, or even street signs. 

-  Nursery Rhymes. We learned and recited Wee Willie Winkie, we even got to act it out. 

- Vocabulary. We explored the following words:  wink, stretch, wrapping (as in knocking), skip, stomp and wiggle. 

-  Caterpillars. I brought in three monarch caterpillars and two of them turned into chrysalis (what a butterfly cocoon is called). We are waiting patiently for them to change in butterflies. 

 

Have a great weekend!

K4 is famous

2nd week

Wow, I can't believe the second week is almost over here in K4. We have been very busy in room 122. 

A few things we have done or are learning. 

1.  Learning classroom routines. 

2.  Practicing our fire drill exit. 

3.  Learning to get along and how to play with others. 

4.  Learning our colors (great skill to work on at home). 

5.  Practicing writing our names (another great thing to practice at home)

6.  Learning about classroom voice levels. 

Next week I will continue to assess students and they will start to bring books home from our lending library.
