What an exciting start we have had to our kindergarten school year! The students are learning a lot about classroom routines and procedures as well as exploring classroom materials and supplies!
At the conclusion of our 1st week of school I gave each student a ball of Magic Play-doh. Oh, how exciting this was! If the play-doh changed colors as they played with it, we were sure to have a great kindergarten school year...and guess what? It certainly did.
We concluded our second week of school with a special yummy snack after learning about ways to stay safe on a bus. Thank you to all of our generous volunteers who sent in the ingredients for our special snack! We read books, watched videos and discussed safety rules both on and off of the bus.
This coming week we will begin working in small groups for reading and math. Once all of our pre-assessments are completed we will use the collected data to differentiate instruction in our small groups to meet the various learning needs of our students. We will discuss your child's performance on these assessments as well as in the classroom at our fall conference.
