Kindergarten ESL Class

We've almost made it through the first 6 weeks of school! We have been busy in ESL learning new vocabulary and spelling words. Please have your child practice writing and spelling out loud their spelling words each night. They have a spelling test at the end of each week. Also please review their vocabulary words with them each night. In our ESL class we act out these words, use these words in sentences, and draw pictures for these words. Your child also has a vocabulary test at the end of each week. I will be starting the Family Literacy Project in October and would love for your family to be a part of this project. I will be sending a not home about the Family Literacy Project in October. Thank you for all of your support. I am so proud of the progress all ESL students have made in the first 6 weeks of school!

Green Eggs and Ham

We made Green Eggs and Ham to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday on February 2nd. Dr. Seuss books are great at helping kids learn rhyming words. They also increase students confidence in reading because they are able to read many rhyming words! We all wore pajamas and enjoyed making green eggs and ham. Each student cracked an egg and then helped throughout the cooking process. Most students loved the eggs and wanted seconds even though they were green! After eating students enjoyed listening to Dr. Seuss books.

Community Helpers

Kindergarten classes enjoyed visits from

community workers during our unit on Community Helpers. A dental hygenist discussed the importance of good dental hygiene and gave each student a new toothbrush. A dairy farmer taught us how to milk a real cow! Mrs. Austin (Ethan's mom) showed students tools she uses at her job. Three firefighters brought their firetruck to the Primary and showed Kindergarten tools they use to keep the community safe.

Less Than, More Than, Same Number As

We have learned to use one-to-one correspondence and language such as more than, same number as, or less than to describe relative sizes of sets of concrete objects. Students worked in pairs to sort various sizes and colors of noodles into groups. Students then had to compare their groups and label their groups with the appropriate langugage, more than, same number as, or less than.

Learning Centers

We love learning in centers everyday! Here are a few pictures of students being creative with blocks and helping others learn their numbers!
