Learning Names & Making Friends
This week, students spent extra time practicing each of their friends’ names when greeting them each morning. Students have worked hard to make eye contact, shake hands, and greet each friend by name daily. As we drew sticks with each student’s name this week, students used our name chart to match students’ pictures to their names. This has students eager to recognize and read each of their friend’s names!
Number Graffiti
Kindergarteners got a chance to practice counting in groups this week as they created counting books of their own. On each page, students drew groups of objects one through four. Kindergarteners were so excited to practice writing their numbers 1-10. Our excitement spilled out onto the playground as students covered our entire basketball court with numbers in chalk!
All About Me Bags
This week, students brought in their All About Me Bags from home to share all about themselves with their friends! Kindergarteners could not wait for their turn to stand in front of their peers and show off each item they were able to fit in their brown paper bag. We were so excited to learn about families, pets, favorite foods, favorite toys, favorite colors and more! Kindergarteners loved finding out how much they have in common with their friends as well as what makes them all so special!
