We are already in the second nine-weeks of school, and we are making very good progress in kindergarten. We have introduced all of the color words and have learned an additional ten sight words which are now posted on our word wall. Many of the kindergarten children already can identify all of the capital and lower case letters as well as letter sounds. Because of this progress, some of them are learning to read from our early readers.
In Math, we have introduced numbers 1-10 and have discussed groups with more/less/equal to amounts. Each day, we spend about fifteen minutes working at Math stations so that we can use manipulatives to reinforce the concepts we have learned. The children look forward to these stations every day. We often get comments about how much they love school.
We finished our unit on pumpkins and will be beginning a unit on transportation. We will read books about transportation, graph the way we get to school, and write stories about various types of transportation.
We just completed parent-teacher conferences and these were a big success. We had a great turn-out. Thanks to all parents who have been such a support this year!
