Flight 10 to Hawaii

Today we were so excited to see all of our friends. We talked about what we did over Spring Break. We wrote in our lifebooks. We are starting to write on smaller lines. We are learning where to place our letters and to use lower case letters when we are printing sentences. We talked about the "am" family. We are taking home the book, Pam and Sam. You can help me read the book. We circled all the am words. We are also taking home 2 books. One is a home reading book. Please read this book to me and then have me re-read this book while I point to the words. I should read this book many times. We will be bringing home these books daily. They should be returned daily. We practiced subitizing. We played a game called Zap. It was lots of fun. We set up the house center as an airplane. We travelled to America. It was a kind of up in the air kind of day.

Reading with our Reading Partners.

Today we used our magic finger to point to the words when we were reading with our reading partner. We circled the snap words: look, at and the in our Hansel and Gretel book. We told Mrs. Kitson that we are reading our little books each night. She said that is the best way to learn how to read. We wrote in our lifebooks. We are using many different tools to help us write. We use the alphabet and vowel charts, pictionaries and we also use our read about the world books to copy print. We have sentence starters that we can pick from also. We had fun making the house into a Leprechaun House. Gingy sent us a letter with a book, a snake and some shamrocks. The book was about a snake and St. Patrick. Ask me about the book. We had a green kind of day in KIndergarten.
