First Week of School Reading and Writing!

It seems like the first week of school flew by so fast! There was a LOT of stuff going on this first week. We colored and drew pictures, cut and matched pictures, played games, talked with friends, painted, put our names in order and practiced writing and tracing our names.

On the carpet, we talked with each other about our favorite part of the day, what we did over the summer, and what our favorite rotation class is during morning buzz book.

First Week of School Social Studies

Social Studies this week was all about rules, procedures and the people that keep us safe at school.

The first day, we went around the school to find the different parts of the building we visit all the time, and places we may need to visit.


Our second day, we played our Who Am I? game. The questions pop up one at a time and the kids try and guess who the authority figure is before the picture pops up. Each slide has 4 clues about each of the authority figures we see every day.

Our third day, we watched our Kindergarten BrainPOP and talked about if it was the same or different as our day in kindergarten.

On our fourth and fifth days, we made and revised our classroom rules. Once we had a good set of rules to follow, I wrote them on our class rules poster and we all signed our poster.

First Week of School Math!

Our first week of math was spent mostly playing and making sure we used our math manipulatives the right way. On the carpet during calendar time, we practiced writing and making our numbers with dry erase board and markers.

At their first station of the week, the kids practiced playing with the counting bears.
