Our literacy and Math stations are in full swing. The kiddos love working with partners as they complete their activities.  For literacy stations this week, the children did a rainbow write and phonics games.  In math the children played a monster measuring game, found the missing number, and played an addition and subtraction game.  I enjoyed meeting with the kiddos individually during this time and I am excited to see their growth this year!

In Literacy, we enjoyed listening to the story, Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon.  The children learned new comprehension skills like visualizing, opinion and connection.  

In Writer's Workshop, we have continued working on stretching out our sounds and we love building our writing stamina.

In Music, the children played instruments and danced to the song, Old Man Tucker.  It was fun to see them so engaged in the song!

Leader In Me

We have also begun introducing our Leader in Me character/leadership program. The past few weeks we have focused on the first two habits for happy kids. 1. Be Proactive reminds us that we should do the right thing even when no one is watching. It also reminds us that we are in charge of our own moods, feelings, and attitudes. The K-Kids have worked hard to be proactive the past week taking care of themselves, their friends, and our classroom. This week we will focus on Habit 2- Begin with the end in mind.   This habit reminds us about goal setting. We should strive to achieve our goals and think about cause and effect when making decisions. As we continue learning and emphasizing different habits, you will see these posted on the cubbies. The K-kids will be creating a variety of projects based on the 7 habits.  They will be displayed on the Leadership Tree in the classroom!

Next week, we will start our Fall Harvest unit, where we will be looking at the various fruits and vegetables that are harvested in the Fall and studying their life cycles and patterns.
