Our Thanksgiving Day party was filled with fun games!
The kids started off by thinking of something they were thankful for. They wrote what it was on a colorful leaf paper. We put them on our "Tree of Thanksgiving" which is in our classroom.
The kids played a few games of Thanksgiving BINGO! They had to find symbols like pilgrims, turkeys, pumpkins, and corn to complete their BINGO sheet.
They also played a fun round of Pin the Gobbler on the Turkey.
Last, but not least, they decorated some sugar cookies!
They had so much fun thanks to the help of the room moms and families who donated items for the party.
The kids and I really appreciate your help!
Reading Mastery
In the Reading Mastery program, the kids learn the letter sounds which will build into the blending of letter sounds to make words. After completing the group lesson with the teacher, the students have to work independently to complete their seatwork which is directly related to the word and/or letter sounds they just worked on with the teacher.
Partner Reading
One way to improve reading skills is practicing with a peer. The students are given opportunities throughout the week to partner read with a designated reading buddy. Both students have the same book during the reading time. One listens and follows along while the other student reads. Each student has the opportunity to take a turn to read.
From Classmates to Best of Friends
In the kindergarten classroom, all of the kids are becoming very good friends! The kids in the class are caring, thoughtful, and loving to each other. They are willing to go the extra mile to help one of their classmates who might be hurt or have hurt feelings. They are a wonderful group of kids who are going to grow up to be wonderful men and women! I'm very proud of them because they work hard everyday and start their day with a smile!
