We Love Library Time
Today we talked about the letter V. We need to practice all our letters and sounds. We do this everyday in school. We are bringing home another book. Can you help me blend the sounds to read the words. There are a few snap words in our book. We made patterns and then we made music with our patterns. We clapped, slapped and stomped our patterns. We can make a musical pattern at home. Mrs, Kitson read us the book, Little Red Hot,by by Erik A. Kimmel.. Ask me about the book. We learned more about Lovey, Dovey. We learned that she is friendly. We talked about ways we show that we are friendly. It was a friendly day at school.

The Sense of Taste
Today we talked about the sense of taste. We went to The Kinder Cafe. We tasted sour, sweet, salty, bitter and even umami . Can you guess what I tasted. We talked about patterns. We made patterns with out math boxes. We are starting to sound out words in our lifebooks. We are clapping the syllables and stretching out the sounds. The Gingerbread Man sent us an email. He said he made his own reading box and that he was learning the same snap words. We looked for words in his message. The snap words are words we should be able to read in a snap. The words we are learning are: the, of, and, a, to, it, in is, you, that and it. We had a fun day in KIndergarten but we were able to go outside. We were so happy. Mrs. Kitson gave us hot chocolate and marshmallows when we came in. It was a sweet, umami, sour, salty and bitter day in Kindergarten.

Making our Reading Boxes
Today was our first day back after the holidays. We were so excited to see all of our friends. We are learning about FairyTales. The first Fairy Tale Mrs. Kitson read to us was, The Three little Pigs. We talked about how there are many different versions of the same story. We talked about the 5 senses. We learned about the word texture. We did a texture scavenger hunt in the classroom . We found things that were: bumpy, gooey, sticky, smooth, and soft. We learned many other texture words. We learned about our skin and how the sense of touch is very important. We learned a big word for skin. Ask me what the big word is. We reviewed our letters and talked about the vowel e. We are practicing our vowel sounds. We started decorating our reading boxes.We had lots of fun at Wondertime. We now have a castle in the classroom. It was a cold but we felt warm playing with our friends.
