Today was such a fun day! I can tell students are starting to get familiar with our routine! Today we started with introducing the letter Cc. Then we interviewed our Happy Campers of the day (AM: Makena, PM: Ella). The Happy Camper helped me with Calendar, then they wrote their Daily News sentence. Finally, everybody wrote the Camper's name and then we made them a book! We read a short non-fiction expository, Rules are Important, and had a great discussion about some of our rules that are very important. We had a short recess outside in the middle of our day.
In math, we had a fun sorting activity where we sorted things that you would wear, do, or see in different weather. Things you might do, wear, or use on: a nice warm sunny day, a rainy day or a snowy day. Student did a great job sorting these!
One of my favorite parts about today was reading the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! We read this book and then we started our very own coconut tree creation. Today we painted our coconut tree and I have to say I was SUPER impressed by how well students followed directions! This is only the second week of Kindergarten!!! Wow, the trees look great and only minimal paint got on hands and tables!!! After we painted our trees, we ended with writing our second letter of the day, Dd in our Handwriting book!
