This week we learned so much.  We talked about our feelings and how it is okay to feel happy, mad, confused, proud, hurt, lonely, excited, and even sad.  We wrote about different times in our lives when we have felt each of these.  We also learned how to use an "I" message with others.  Our words are one of the most powerful tools we have, so we need to use them.  We learned how to tell someone when they are bothering us, or when they do something that we appreciate.  The sentence clause for an I message is "I feel__________, because you ________________, please _______________."  If you hear me using an "I" message at home please, congratulate me.  This week we finished reading our 5th book. Woohoo!!  We are becoming great readers.  The more we practice the better we get, so please ask me to read to you at home =)  In math we talked about the different attributes that objects have, like shape, color, size, and thickness.  We also learned about making an equal set.  Ask me to show you.

I wonder if this wand will make a big bubble?

Dear Families,

This week was so much fun. We got to explore with Math Manipulatives, read 3 books, make new friends, sing new songs, and how to mix colors.  Did you know that blue and red make purple, yellow and blue make green, and yellow and red make orange?  The only down side was not being able to go to recess because of the heat advisory.  We can't wait to see what we learn next week!!!

Look at all the friends who joined us for yellow day. What a great time we had!

Look at the awesome dragon I made while exploring math manipulatives today.

Dear Families,

This week was great!  Although, we missed our families, it was fun getting to know so many new friends.  There are a lot of neat things that we get to do.  Recess, PE, and Music class are our favorites so far.  We read a new book called "In Kindergarten." We are practicing how to read it all by ourselves and will bring it home on Monday to read at home.  We also like when Ms. Allen lets us dance and teaches us new songs. Kindergarten is full of so many fun things, we can't wait to do more next week =)

Fun Friday.
