iPads and Pajama and Stuffy Day

We enjoyed our Pajama and Stuffy Day celebration on Friday.  Students were very excited to share their stuffies at circle time.  We loved hearing why each stuffy was so special.  

In addition, we had our first lesson on how to use our iPads.  Mr. Langevin, our district learning leader, and Mr. Eugair, RES technology support specialist, introduced iPads to us.  We had fun exploring Starfall.  Starfall is a website for children specializing in math, reading, and phonics.

Our First 2 Weeks in Kindergarten

 

Hello Families,

Our first 2 weeks in kindergarten have gone by quickly!  We have been busy getting to know each other and building a community.  We are learning the expectations and routines for kindergarten and our school.  Kindergarteners are learning to read to self and to read with a partner.  We have built up to 3 minutes of each. (We move slowly to build stamina and foster a love of reading.)  In writing, we have been working on self-portraits and family pictures.  We are even working on creating a map of our heart.  We draw and/or write the things we care about in the maps of our hearts.  A favorite activity this week was working cooperatively with a partner to build the tallest tower using only 14 blocks.  What fun we are having playing and working together!  Thank you for sharing your children with me.
