REBECCA READER SHARES HER READING TOOLS

Rebecca Reader, our reading friend came today to share her reading tools with us! She said we will be good readers if we... 

1.  Always use our finger to track the words on the page.
2.  Use our eyes to look at each word.

3.  Get our mouth ready for the first letter of each word.
4. Look at the pictures for clues.

We put words together and made a sentence we could all read.  Rebecca Reader was very surprised how well we can read!!

We Miss our Friend Mia

We were so sad to hear our friend, Mia M. is sick in the hospital.  We hope she gets well soon so she can come back to our Clifford room.  We miss you Mia!

ZERO THE HERO!!!

Zero the Hero is an important part of our daily routines. His purpose is to introduce the children to the concept of place value in a fun, exciting way. He comes every time we have a zero in the number of days we've been in school. Each day during calendar time we add a DOG  AND PAPER CLIP to our daily count of how many days we've been in school. Zero the Hero helps us learn about the importance of zeros in numbers. 

Today is the 20th day of school and here is Jayda, our Zero the Hero!!!!!

OUR SUPER STAR

Joshua, our Super Star this week, is so excited to take Clifford's backpack home for the weekend!!!  We know he'll take good care of Clifford!!!

FLY PIE!!!!

Another fun day learning about rhyming words!!!  We learned about real frogs, made frog hats and best of all,  ate "fly-pie"!!!  It was yummy!!!  

The ability to recognize and produce rhyming words is an important phonological awareness skill. Research indicates there is a correlation between phonological awareness and a child's reading ability.  What you can do to help at home...1. reading nursery rhymes, 2. playing rhyming games, 3. reading books about poems.

Clifford, The Big Red Dog!!

It's always a good day when Clifford the big red dog shows up at school!!!  We love you Clifford!!

It's Rhyme Time

Let's hear it for Fox In Socks!!!

The students were so excited to wear their "crazy" socks and make fox hats after listening to the story,

 Fox in Socks. 

We paraded around our school in our socks and fox hats too!!!

What a wacky & fun way to reinforce rhyming words on Wednesday!!!!

CONSTITUTION DAY

HIP HIP HURRAY FOR THE USA

We celebrated Constitution/Freedom Day today. 

After discussing the USA Constitution we made our own Classroom Consitution...

"We the kids in kindergarten promise to follow the rules, be nice to our friends, clean up our messes, listen to our teacher, and keep our hands to ourselves. 

We also made red, white & blue hats and American Flags.  All of the Carver Kids gathered in front of the school at the flag pole and recited the Pledge of Allegiance and sang God Bless the USA.  It was a great day in the USA!!

SUPER STAR NEWS!!!

Each week we will have one student from our class who will be the "star of the week"!  The "super star" will get to do special privileges and jobs for our classroom. The "super star" has a very special chair to sit in all week!  On Friday, the "super star" will get to take the Clifford backpack home and have Clifford spend the weekend! The students are always sooooo excited to see who our super star is each week!!! Mia L. was our very first super star this year!!

Mia L. is ready to take Clifford home!
