It was a busy day in Kindergarten today. We had two special guests!
Our first guest was Yuko, our amazing lunch lady. She was our Royal Reader and read us a couple of her favorite books. One was even in Japanese! Very cool. Thank you Yuko!
Our second guest was Brendan Gaylord, who showed off his firefighting gear. Brendan is a volunteer firefighter for the Warren Fire Department and Beth's son! He was here today to bring awareness to the kids about what a firefighter looks like and sounds like with all the gear on. Brendan had many questions to answer such as:
Q: How much water fits into the tanks on the Fire Truck?
A: 10,000 gallons.
Sharing today......
Max talked about pigeons that his grandparents have and the pigeons had babies a couple days ago.
In Language Arts we have been learning about digraphs; ch, sh, th, wh and ck. We have been saying the letter combo, the picture clue and the sounds that they make. We have also practiced finding words with the digraphs in them. We are also working hard to learn our play lines. Very fun when you start to get your lines and can add emphasis and emotions.
In Math we have been practicing recognizing dots on a grid. We can instantly recognize up to ten dots by knowing that each row holds five dots. If the first row is full and the second row has 3 dots we know that it is 5+3 which is 8 dots. We have also been building teen numbers on a grid. Today we used two colors to show teen numbers. For the number 15 we colored ten squares one color and five more another color to show that 10+5 is 15.
