What a wonderful second day of school we had! The kindergarten students started their first stories. Many of them already put letters down to represent words. They went to work counting and sorting during math stations. They practiced building stamina reading books by themselves. Their reading included telling a story using the pictures or retelling a story they had heard before. They had a great time in the exploration room using the kitchen, building with blocks, playing school, using the sand and bean tables and simply watching the class frogs.
We learned to sing a new song called "Black Socks." We rapped the alphabet. We practiced direction words like "under," "between," "beside," "on top of," and "behind." The class worked hard to earn more foam pieces by following the 4 Expectations (Be in Your Spot, Quiet Voice/Kind Words, Follow Directions, and Body to Self). This is an enthusiastic group of kiddos and we are thrilled to be teaching them.
