After a long week of hard work, the kids were rewarded with a special visit from my mom. She read the kids the story about Noah's Ark. After the story, we decorated sugar cookies with chocolate frosting, Twizzler's, M&M's, and sprinkles. YUMM!!!!
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!
