A Week in Review:

Reading Workshop – In reading workshop, our students are discovering the learning benefits of rereading.  They know that they can learn even more but reviewing what they’ve read and taking a closer look at the pictures. They are learning to connect the pages in a book by saying the words “and then” as they turn each page.

Writing Workshop – In writing workshop, our students are learning to add detail and label their illustrations.  They are learning to problem-solve when they get “stuck”.

Math – In math, our students are engaging in hands-on activities to reinforce numbers 0 – 5 using dice, five frames, and cubes.  They are also sorting letters to spell the number words o-n-e and t-w-o.

Religion –  On Monday, we visited the church and reviewed behavioral expectations for mass and on Tuesday we attended our first school mass!  The children made us proud as they demonstrated a prayerful attitude.

Executive Functioning – Our students have learned so many routines already!  They greet us in the morning, return their black folders, then put their things away, wash their hands, and get ready for a great day!

Other News:

Child of the Week – Information explaining Child of the Week will be sent home in your child’s black folder this coming week.

Daily Snack – As a reminder, we ask that you send a snack, packed outside of your child’s lunchbox, to school each day. Our lunch is held from 10:50-11:30, so we will have snack time in the afternoon.

Photo Sharing – Just a reminder to check out our twitter accounts for fun info and photos!

IT’S GREAT TO BE A KINDERGARTNER AT SFX!
