March Musings
March has been a great month for Room 201. The students are showing off all that they have learned. I could not be prouder of them. They have been working so hard. Each day we are practicing our letter sounds and sight words. This week we started to focus on consonant blends. We have included them in our daily message--blending words, such as slam, trap, plug, step. The boys and girls are picking up this skill quickly. Great job!

Good-bye Fabulous Februart, Hello Magnificent March
Another busy week in kindergarten...
The students are doing an excellent job with the beginning stages of addition. The students enjoyed rolling dice, adding the number of dots together, and graphing the sum. We also practiced adding the two sides of a domino to find out "how many in all?" We have also started to count to 100 every day!
Our three new sight words for the week were: are, of, and have. Some of the skills that we practiced in reading include "cause and effect," smooth blending all of the sounds in a word, and identifying the subject in a sentence.
In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, we had loads of fun with rhyming words and make-believe words today with the "A" class. Next Friday, the "B" class will get to enjoy the same activities!
Have a safe, fun weekend!

Fun times in February!
Wow! What a quick week. Four days fly by. Nonetheless, there was a lot of learning going on in Room 201. The students enjoyed reading Rooster's Off to See the World, by Eric Carle. Judging by the students' reactions, I would not be surprised if they were begging to go to the library to get more of his books! I love his Grouchy Ladybug and the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Many of the students have been talking about going to the beautiful new library, so you may want to pick up a few Eric Carle titles on your next visit.
In math, we are in the early stages of addition. Currently, we are adding numbers together with picures and counting. Soon, we will be adding the addition and equals signs. The students are so excited about this new challenge. Their enthusiasm keeps growing!
