New Year, new weather!

Happy New Year! We jumped right back into our Kindergarten groove by reviewing all of the letters and sight words we learned in 2015.  As we start this new year, we wrote resolutions about what we want to learn and do!

Arielle wants to learn to do a double somersault!

Alia wants to eat more vegetables!

Joshua will eat more potatoes!

To kick off our new unit on weather, we first learned about our four seasons. It finally feels like winter and we loved experiencing some exciting weather this week!

We read several narrative and informational books about the seasons and weather, but our favorite was The Jacket I Wear in the Snow.  The book uses adjectives to describe different types of winter clothing. Using our pictures from our snow globes, the students worked on a descriptive writing piece for our upcoming Winter Art Gallery.  The used adjectives to describe their own winter clothes!

A familiar story, Brown Bear, Brown Bear was rewritten for our winter theme. The students worked on Snowman, Snowman and practiced tracking words, reading sight words, and reading adjectives (color words).

Every morning we do a calendar lesson along with recording the weather for the day. The students loved making their own Weather Wheels to use at home!
