Cooperation
Today we had lots of fun playing at Wondertime. We worked together to build this castle. We like playing with all the castle toys. In the morning we played with a partner. We worked together to match dominos on our domino clock. We are using our subitzing skills. The GIngerbread Man sent us a message. He sent us the book, The Paper Bag Princess and a dragon costume. Mrs. Kitson forgot to read the book. We will have to wait until next week. We are bring home the book, At the Castle. We circled the snap words, the, that and is. You can help me read the book. Reading the little books often helps me learn to read. We had a dragon of a time in kindergarten.

The Three Little Pigs
Today Mrs. Kitson read us the story of The Three little Pigs. She also read, Steven Kellog's version of The Three Little Pigs. It was very funny. Ask me about the waffle machine. We are practicing reading our books. We read by ourselves and with partners. We take our time and look at the pictures to give us information. We can use the first letter of the words sometimes to help us read the written word. We practiced our numbers. We had to colour in one more than the number on the dice. We are bringing home a new fairy tale book. We circled the snap words, I , am and like. We can read this book to you. It was a nice day to play outside. It was a piggy kind of day in kindergarten.
