Letter L Week.... lines, lanterns and leaves!

This week we focused on Swifty's SAFER tools and stories that promoted solving problems with others and what we can do to be a kind and caring person at school. We read How Full is Your Bucket, Llama, Llama and the Bully Goat and Llama, Llama Time to Share. We will continue to work on this concept throughout the school year. 

We also, wrapped up talking about Autumn changes and will now focus on pumpkins and their life cycle over the next week. We will be looking at pumpkins, both inside and out, measuring them, tasting them and reading stories about them. 

For Math, we have been working on sorting a group of objects out by color, size, shape, animal type, legs, tails, feeling, type of shells, wings and a few other attributes the students have come up with. We continue to work on number sense during calendar time. 

 On Friday, we finished  the week doing letter Ll activities.
All centers focused on fine motor skills and following directions. Students created lines, leaves, lanterns and letter Lls. It was a fantastic way to finish up the week! 

This week, look for a short note about Halloween day. A sign up sheet will be outside the class if you would like to send something for snack that day. 

As well, a story about Thanksgiving dinner that the students were practicing reading in small groups and some work on letter recognition and their names, will be coming home. Please remember, we are just building print awareness skills in Kindergarten and the small books that come home are for you and your child to read together. Have them practice tracking across the sentence as you read, reading the pictures and focusing on the letters we have learned so far! C, D, F, T and L.
