Of course we had another great and busy week in Kindergarten! We worked on practicing our literacy and reading skills in Literacy Lab, had another directed drawing to draw a leprechaun, made leprechaun traps and shared them with our preschool reading buddies, enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day snack, and more! Take a look below to find out more details about our busy week.
In Literacy Lab this week, the students worked on making sight words with Mrs. Boyd, increasing recognition of letters and letter sounds with Mrs. Arnold, and listening to the story "Who took the farmer's hat".
The students also read the story "Have you seen my pot of gold?" with Ms. Roland, when the students worked with me I reread the familiar story "Llama llama mad at mama" to them, we worked on story comprehension, and read the story "Pets".
While I was working on finishing up testing with the students and updating their data folders, Mrs. Rawlins came in and subbed in our classroom. She worked on another directed drawing with the students and this time they made a leprechaun. They turned out great and are now hanging up around the classroom for you to see during conferences!
The students also worked on making leprechaun traps. They worked in 5 different groups to create their own unique traps using different materials that I had set out for them. It was fun to see what they came up with. Then, on Friday the groups shared their work with our preschool reading buddies and explained to them why they created their specific trap and how it would catch a leprechaun.
We also listened to some fun St. Patrick's day videos, danced, and enjoyed some green Hawaiian punch with our preschool reading buddies.
Later on Friday we read St. Patrick's day stories, enjoyed a festive snack including different "gold coins" pretzels and more green juice, watched a video of Irish river dancing, and even tried to dance like them as well. It was much harder than they thought it would be!
Mrs. Boxley came on Tuesday and the students were happy to see her as always. She also worked with the students to practice their lunch numbers in order to help them get faster!
You all should've received your child's spring pictures back on Friday if your child was at school that day. It works a little differently than pictures from the fall so it can be confusing sometimes. You only have to pay for the pictures that you want to keep. If you do not like the pictures or do not want to keep them, them just send them all back to school. If you would like to keep some or all of the pictures, just fill out the form inside the envelope, send in the correct amount of money, and keep the pictures that you pay for. I hope this helps!
The cat in the hat directed drawings that the students did have been displayed in the hallway for you to see when you come in for conferences this week.
I am looking forward to meeting with you all for conferences this coming week. Thank you for checking in. Come back next week to see how else we are preparing for conferences!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Brittany Garrabrant
