Friday November 6

We learned about how we are all writers in Kindergarten. We talked about telling stories that can be true or a memory, make believe(imagination) or about something we know a lot about (facts). The children drew a picture about something they wanted to share and then wrote their story at the bottom of the page. As writers, we can tell a story by using, swirly printing, swirl combo, letter printing, sound printing or book printing. Everyone is kindergarten can share their story by swirly printing. Ask your child what they wrote about today.  




We read the story "The Rainbow Fish" Please enjoy the story.  The Rainbow Fish
Ms. Norlin and Ms. Felstrom taught a lesson using guided drawing to make a fish.  We used tissue paper and foil to turn our fish into a rainbow fish.

We had centers and played outside at the playground. 

We have been working on numbers 1-10.  We have learned about 10 Frames.  Ten Frame Mania gives the children the opportunity to work on number recognition and building numbers in ten frames.

Please try out the Ten Frame Mania game.  Ten Frame Mania

We started learning about 2d and 3d shapes. The children were given popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners and had to make as many shapes as they could. We talked about each shape and what it looks like. We played shape games with a partner where one partner drew a shape and the other had to ask yes or no questions to try and figure out what the shape is. For example, "Does it have 4 corners?" "Does it have 3 sides?" etc.  We continued to work on our penguin dioramas.  We had music and gym. Ask your child what they did with Mrs. Coulson and Mr. Der? Wednesday is PINK shirt day. Please wear pink in support of always treating others with kindness.   Friday is an AM kindergarten day.  Please practice our penguin song at home:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdngdI506U  Happy Feet - The Song Of The Heart Movie - Happy Feet 2006 Singer - Prince www.youtube.com                          ...
