Mrs. Deaton is back!!

We are getting back into the grove of school!  Mrs. Deaton is back and we are excited!  She really missed us but was happy to be at home with her two little boys, Connor and Brandon.  We are so happy she is back in Kindergarten!

Today was a great day in Kindergarten.  We started our day by doing Daily 5, which was a lot of fun.  Some of the groups got to Read to Self.  William read a book about the Cat in the Hat.  Other kids got to go to istation on the computer or to Book Club with Mrs. Deaton.  Some of us got to play Mrs. Deaton’s iPad and the Smartboard.  It was tons of fun! 

 

We have new tubs in Working with Words.  We are practicing our sight words this week in Daily 5.  We are supposed to be practicing them at home with our families too. 

Mrs. Feller has been working hard with us to make some great Christmas ornaments!

 

We didn’t get to go outside to recess today because it was rainy and messy.  Instead, we danced to the High Five video!

 We worked hard in Work Centers today. 
“I did a Christmas tree graph.” Levi
“I did a pattern block Xenopus, which is a type of frog.” Paulina
“I put stockings in order from longest to shortest.” Dylan
