Winter Activities & More!

This week was another fun week in Kindergarten! The students enjoyed all of the snow we got this week, including watching it fall from our classroom on Thursday! We got to display the cafeteria trophy, worked on our Journey's curriculum, and wrote about animals in the winter time.
We worked hard in Literacy Lab, had an assembly about positive behavior and asset builders, and got to share with our Preschool reading buddies. 
Take a look below for more details on our fun and busy week! 

Mrs. Sanner's class came to deliver the cafeteria trophy to us!
I forgot to get a picture of our focus wall for the week so I took one from the Journey's curriculum book.
Students worked hard in their Reader's Notebook. 
We focused on our sight words for the week: with & my.
As well as our letter N sound.
Sounding out words and filling in the missing letters.
 After reading a story about a bear hibernating in the winter, students then drew a picture of their favorite part.
 We learned about the letter N, made a list of things that begin with that sound, and the students drew pictures to make our letter card for our alphabet wall.
Students wrote about different animals and what they do during the winter time.
 Johnny wrote "The bear was sleeping.".
We also worked on making a snowman book. We read each page, found the matching object and glued it on the page all to make a snowman. 
We also worked hard in Literacy Lab this week. Students worked with me on guided reading basic books, answering questions about what we read, practicing our sight words, and picture sorts.
Of course we worked hard on our iReady lessons!
 Students worked with Mrs. Ball on identifying letters and matching them to their sounds.
 For Fun Friday in Literacy Lab, students made a snowman by ripping paper & following directions.
During workstations, students worked with me on practicing a square and our color sight word pink.
On Friday, we had an assembly to refresh our building "bees": Bee Safe, Bee Respectful, Bee Responsible. We talked about the classroom trophies that we are working to earn and also the asset builders of the month for November & December.
 On Friday, students were excited to share with their Preschool Reading Buddies. The Kindergarten students drew a picture to give to their reading buddy and read our letter N book to them.
 Our letter E & W cards that I forgot to get a picture of last week. 
Our class is very close to earning all of our buckeyes and therefore getting a whole class reward. They only need 4 more! Since they are so close, we decided to vote for what they wanted for their reward. They chose to have show & tell so as soon as they earn the last 4 buckeyes I will let you know when our show & tell will be!
 The class also passed their iReady goal for the week so they will earn extra choice time sometime next week!
Thanks for stopping by. Check back next week to see what we are up to.

Have a great week!
Mrs, Brittany Garrabrant
