Chicka Chicka 123

I hope this weekend is treating you well! We are relaxing well in the Richardson home!

We had yet another busy and fun week in room #12.

Bracken testing has begun at Reece Academy. All Pre-K students are being tested to get a "baseline" score. We will re-test each student again at the end of the year using the same test so that we may measure the growth they have made this year.

We had our first visit to the library this week to meet Mrs. Brown, the Information Literacy Specialist. Mrs. Brown taught us how to care for our library books and how to check out a book. Next Thursday the children will have a review on how to treat library books and how to check out a book. The following Thursday will then be the first time they are able to bring a book home!

In the classroom this week we were.....

 COO COO for coconuts!

Kindergarten students:

Created AB patterns with coconuts alternating between orange and brown.

They finished their patterns so quickly- and they looked great!

 Practiced number order by placing numbered trees in order from 0-10 and then placing the correct number of coconuts in each tree!

Working hard!

Johnathan took his time and made perfect coconut trees!

Reviewed simple addition and subtraction by solving simple equations.

Zariyah finishing her subtraction problems on her trees.

Practiced counting and number recognition with Numbers 1-100.    

Apples with the numbers 1-100 were mixed up and the students first sorted them by 10's and then placed them in order from 1-100!

There were so proud of themselves when they finished!

Reviewed writing a complete sentence that starts with a capital letter, has finger spaces between its words and ends with a punctuation mark.



Writing sentences that begin with a capital letter, have finger spaces and end with a punctuation mark!

Mason write "I went to the museum." I love how his picture matches his sentence!



Pre-K students:

Learned how to properly hold and use scissors to create coconut leaves.

                               

Practiced 1 to 1 correspondence by placing the correct number of coconuts in a numbered tree.

Practiced writing their first and last names daily!

Practiced working in groups of two.  

Needless to say we were VERY busy this week and really earned our Friday Funday!

We have our projector up and running and used it for the first time on Friday!

 

I hope you enjoyed a peek into our class and are ready for the next update!

P.S.- Kindergarten students will bring home their first homework assignment of the year on Tuesday! Pre-K students will bring home their Name Folders starting Monday so that they can practice writing their names nightly! :)
