February 3rd Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Happy February Everyone!
I am happy to be back in the classroom this week. Even though I knew I needed to stay home to recover, it's always hard taking time away from the kids.
Monday was my last day at home, but the class worked on printing, talked about the Lunar New Year. The afternoon was spent in music class and in the forest.
Tuesday was our Oral Language groups where we focused on segmenting sentences into words. The class also went to the library and did a Chinese New Year math activity.
On Wednesday we started a balance focus in the gym, began learning about measurement in math and wrote in our journals. Later the class went outside for nature studies and practiced reading.
Thursday, we continued learning about measurement by comparing sizes and had free choice in the gym. We also started a unit on nutrition and went “shopping” for fruits and vegetables for our balanced nutrition plates. Later we learned our “word of the week” (I) and went to the forest.
