Morning Stations (while testing this week): We did our first NWEA testing this week, which to the students we referred to as an iPad game, while we rotated students in and out of the testing room others chose different stations to collaborate at: apple books/sorting, math games, literacy games, puppets/oral story telling, puzzles, light table, yoga, being weather watchers outside, writing and coloring. Everyone had so much fun and was so engaged!
Math: Continued number sense work. Our mini-lessons included some games to practice careful counting, number id and number formation. Stations supported these lessons. We are working hard to be sure that during math stations our hands/brains/mouths/eyes are used as a mathematician instead of being silly and not using the stations properly.

Science: We are all about being weather watchers! We look at the sky, think about what people are wearing, look at what's happening outside and feel for the temperature. We'll continue our work with weather next week. We were also introduced to seasons.
Phonics: Using our names to practice letter formation and take a look at vowels we also compared our name bags with classmates!
Social Skills: Our theme for the week was "treat others how you want to be treated." We are having some issues with kindness and I really try to help them through by asking how they'd like someone to treat them in that particular situation. We will continue working on throwing kindness around like confetti! A great book to reread at home (if you don't own it, it's on youtube) is "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?"
At-Home: Find a favorite book that your kinder loves and read it each night! Next week we'll talk about falling in love with books and being able to read them over and over again. By doing this we'll be able to match pictures to the words and know what each page says. In class we'll be working with "The Three Billy Goats Fluff."
