Monday!

We had a great day back!
We started our day with introducing our new letter of the week, Bb!  We then welcomed Mrs. Pittz into our classroom for another social skills lesson. The lesson focused on how feelings can be expressed with facial expressions, but also voice, and body posture. Once the lesson was over, we did our calendar and Daily News routine, as well as our picture guess. We guessed different pictures that started with the /b/ sound and read a story called "Bubble Bear". Recess was once again outside, which felt great...even though it was a bit chilly. :) We transitioned to math after recess, where the kiddos again identified/wrote what the two parts were, as well as the whole (e.g. 2 + 6 = 8). Lastly, we started our first independent informational writing task today. 
The students listened to different facts about foxes, looked at pictures, and also got to see a short clip about how foxes use their incredible hearing to catch their prey. I've included the video link below, as it is quite amazing to see. 


Important Information:
1. Homework folders came home today (3-7-16).
2. Take Home Books were exchanged/checked in today (3-7-16).
3. Grandparents Day is March 18th from 8:15-9:00am for both AM and PM kinders!
4. If you haven't turned in your child's Conference Form, please do so as soon as you can (or by Friday).  Thank you!  :)  Every kindergartener should have a form filled out, even if they have other siblings, this is a different pamphlet with different times.  Thank you for your patience as we navigate this new conference scheduling process!

Have a great evening!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
