Gunny the pet turtle

Did you know we have a class pet? Gunny the turtle greets us and keeps an eye out for us every day. He eats lots of banana's.

We hope you are enjoying this amazing weather, whenever you can.  Kindergarteners certainly are. Lots of outside time for sure and new friendships are developing.

Language Arts we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See, as a whole class. Again, using picture clues to help us read the words. We are also looking for new letters, Uu and Ii.  In small groups we worked on writing our letters and saying the sounds those letters make. We used wiki sticks to build our letters and we matched letters to pictures.

In math we worked on ordering and writing numbers. We cut out birthday cakes that had candles on them from one candle up to 6 candles. Then the kids put them in order.
