One Word

One Word

As we returned from a restful break and entered 2018 we discussed choosing one word to show how we want to live, learn and play in the New Year! Kindergarteners found such unique and fitting words to represent their focus as they entered the New Year. Ask your kindergartener what they chose as their “One Word” for 2018!     

Non-fiction

Kindergarten readers were thrilled to continue building their non-fiction reading skills during reader’s workshop this week. They practiced using the glossary to find out the meanings of unknown words, identifying interesting things with post-its, and sharing interesting parts with partners. Readers noticed when looking at non-fiction books they found real pictures, diagrams with labels, bold words, and facts & information that are true.

Project Work

Kindergarteners have immersed themselves in using their creative minds to create a model of their building. Kindergarteners decided on what building they wanted to create, drew a blueprint of it on special drafting paper, and are now using this design to build their model. It has been awe-inspiring endeavor!!
