Oh it was soooooo good to be back with the kinders today! AND we had perfect attendence!!! So Mrs. Wells put a fancy sign on our door. We certainly loved it all day long. :-)

We reviewed our letter names and sounds and got down to the business of reading and spelling. We had just enough time left to draw a boy and write a sentence about a boy.

The next three weeks our overall ELA theme will be weather, and today we read several books about seasons. After one book, the kids drew a picture of a part of the story, then wrote a sentence about it. To share the pictures, the kids did a Hand Up, Pair Up, Share structure. It was amazing to see many smiles and so much good social skills.

I think these kids are smart enough now that they can learn TWO high frequency words in one week. So, this week's words are: is, and little. Most are pros already!

Math was exciting because we are working on combinations to 5, with writing a number sentence and a number bond. Pretty much "easy peezy" as they say.

Hope they are telling you about our Dance Parties that we end the day with. Fun and I LOVE sending the wonderful kids off with smiles, laughter and a tiny bit of play.

PS

When I got home from school, a new book was waiting for me... I cannot WAIT to read it, and use this to help these fantastic readers become even more awesome readers!!!
