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.
