UPDATE

It was another busy week in Kinder!  On Tuesday we had a guest speaker from BRING Recycling to teach us about the importance of recycling.  We talked about the 3 R's.  Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse.  The students were very engaged and asked lots of questions :) Some the their questions/comments were very amusing:))

In reading we became experts with the letter C and the word "A".  The kids are learning several words and practicing the letters names and sounds:) It is exciting to watch the students begin to sound out words and begin to read.

In Math, we continued to work on the tens frame and identifying numbers in a set.  The students are getting much better counting and writing their numbers to 20!

Next week we will be learning about Thanksgiving and will end our week with a small celebration(feast).   We will be having pumpkin pie, apple juice, making butter, and wearing a vest that they have made to celebrate the occasion.  They will then talk about what they are thankful for when we sit down to eat together.  This is a great time to celebrate the friends they have made with in Room 2.

Conferences are coming up next week on Thursday, December 1st and Friday, December 2nd.  I will send home a reminder on Monday of scheduled conference date and time.
