Friday, January 30th

Guest Reader:  Today Reese and her mom read a story!  Thanks so much!

Math: Today in math I gave the students the whole number and one of the parts and they worked with the partner to figure out the other part. This concept was  little trickier but with lots of practice story problems we got it!  Way to go kindergartners!!

Calendar time:  Enjoy a couple pics from calendar time.  We do calendar every day.  The students have their own calendar binders to fill in and follow along with the board.  This month the new skills were finding a number that is one more and one less.  We also play a game called "snowman squeeze." The helper picks out a number and the others guess a number and the helper tells us if that number is too big or too little.  By doing this we end up squeezing the snowmen to get the right number.


Technology: Today we went to a new door in our "keystone" game.  We had to find and type the correct letter that the picture started with.  We did such a great job!

Writer's Workshop:  We had some time to write in our journals today, remembering to use spaces, our brave spelling and making sure our words match the pictures!


WE HAD PHY ED TODAY!!

Phonics/Language Arts: Today we used our work mats to make and build CVC and word family words.  This was our first day of using these mats with our magnet letters as a whole group and we did great!  We earned quite a few marbles for being such great listeners!  Way to go!

Science:  Today we learned about Mr. Germ and his germ family.  We talked about how germs can make us sick and where they like to hang out.  We sang a song called "5 Nasty Germs" and helped get rid of the germs by throwing invisible soap balls at them!  We talked about and practiced how to wash our hands.  The new thing many students learned is to use the paper towl to shut off the water and use it to open the door handle.  We then had some time to create our own "how to" wash our hands chart.
