September 2008
Here is a special look into our day! Well, Monday thru Thursday at least! Hopefully this provides a springboard for you to talk about your childs day and helps you get a general idea of all we are doing! Isn't Kindergarten a lot of work!?!??!!
8:15-8:30/11:55-12:10 Brain Work
(Time for us to do journals, special theme related activities. It helps kick start our brain and get us ready for school! We also think about school rules and put our frog in the "I'm Ready" spot and sign in to show we are here to work!)
8:30-9:30/12:10-1:15 Direct Instruction
(This is an amazing time. We blend words, do letter sorts, do letter/sound chants, learn high frequency words, read special stories and learn strategies like summarize, (Yes, your child is learning this word!)predict and evaluate! The time flies by! (Shhh....we do some wiggle songs as needed!! This makes it even better!!!)
9:30-10:00/1:30-2:00 Differentiated Instruction
(Every student has Must Do's, Next Do's and choices during this time! This is also the time that allows me and Mrs. Dines to work with special groups on skills that they need and continue to guide them in their own learning!)
10:00-10:15/1:15-1:30 Recess
(We try to go outside as much as possible! It is great for our brains to get fresh air and move around. Please take note of the weather and dress your child appropraitly!)
10:15-10:30/2:00-2:15 Calendar Math
(Typical calendar skills...days of the week, counting, patterns, calendar, counting by 1's, 5's and 10's, story problems, tally's and more! We also graph the weather!)
10:30-10:45/2:15-2:30 Math Games
(See previous post!)
10:45-10:55/2:30-2:35 Snack/Clean Up/Dismissal
As you can see, our day is packed! The only exception is Friday! More to come about this special day! We didn't want to overwhelm you!!!
