Our field trip to SAFETYVILLE was a HUGE success! I am super proud of all the kinders! We learned sooo much today! How to properly cross the street, how to handle a fire emergency, calling for help, caring for our pearly whites... and more! Here is a picture story of our day!
Here are some links for your children to explore "community":
Last week we celebrated "Digital Learning Day" on Wednesday February 5th! The children each took 10sec videos of their partners during our Math Centers to share with you what math looks like in the classroom! I will be "splicing" and posting soon!
Here are pictures of our 100th day celebrations! The children had such a wonderful time! I am so very impressed!
Word Family of the Week (WFW): _ed (example: bed, fed, ted, led, red). The initial sound referred to as an onset. The word family is referred to as a rhyme. Using this vocabulary will help in identifying the parts of the word and building familiarity with how to choose rhyming words.)
Daily Reading Log:
I will provide three options for your reading log to meet you in the middle, as I know life gets a little crazy. For the rest of the year you will have the choice between one of the three options. Please remember this is apart of your child's homework completion. I am providing options to make it "user friendly".
Option A) Complete the online version of the "Daily Reading Log".
Option B) Record your child's reading selection on the back of the homework packet instruction sheet.
Option C) Create a electronic book shelf using shelfari and share it with me so I can follow your collection growth! This option is super easy! All you have to do is create a profile (basically name & email) and then type the title of the book(s). See my shelf to the right of this post for an example.
Reading Strategy: Predictions & Inferences
3) Rhyming: Please work with your child on words that rhyme. Begin with words that follow our word families. Reading poetry and seeing how others use rhyme can be a fun way to begin this journey! Dr. Seuss is a great resource for this activity!
Please continue work with both beginning sounds and segmenting words at home.
Beginning Sound Practice:

I am loving the volunteer presence! Keep it coming! It is so fun to share our learning experiences with you!
Wow... it looks like the kids had a wonderful time at Safetyville. I'm thinking about sharing this safety opportunity with my Co-workers for there children/family.
