Jefferson Kindergarten was lucky to have Fireman Cook come and visit. We learned about fire safety, a safe meeting place, and the importance of stop, drop and roll. The kids did great in the firehouse!!!
For the past couple weeks, the Kindergarten classes have been learning all about our community, the places in it, and where it is located on a map. We have also been learning about all the people involved in making Plymouth a great place to live.
Today was a special day. The kids came to school dressed up as what they would like to be when they grow up. We were impressed with all of the effort put into it and the participation from you and the kids! Thank you! They were super excited. We had everything from a hairstylist to a mommy to a nurse to a chef. Officer Weir and his canine friend, Jax, stopped in to tell us about the importance of safety, community and being good listeners. The kids were able to see Jax in action for a pretend search. It was great!!! We sent our pictures into the Pilot News in hopes of being published and the pictures are on the school website as well. I am working with Mrs. Good to get her pictures uploaded as well! :) Each week we will feature a new letter in Kindergarten we are working on. This week will be the letter Mm. We practice recognition of the letter, the sound it makes and words that begin with Mm to help develop vocabulary. Please continue to practice the letters of the alphabet at home. Our goal is to know all of the letters and their sounds by December. Check out this fun Letter Mm podcast from Sesame Street. :) Math isn't just all about pencil and paper...we like to dance it out and count our chickens... Check out this fun video on YouTube we help to get the wiggles out and practice our counting! Mrs. Good and I would like to personally thank you for stopping in at I- Parent night. It was the first one for Kindergarten and we were so happy to share with you all about Kindergarten!!! We are looking forward to a great year!
Mrs. Good and I have partnered up with Mrs. Ludwig and Mr. Scheetz's class for reading buddies every Friday. Our big buddies are helping our little learners to read, find sight words, and learn all about the love of reading!
We have been working really hard on our reading in Kindergarten. The kids are doing great with following words left to right and finding our sight words!!! We've been learning how to use IPADs and tracing our letters as well as using our sight words in our writing. So proud of our little learners!
If you haven't heard of starfall.com you are missing out! We use this particular website as an app on our IPads. It helps the kids with letters, their sounds and vocabulary. :) Enjoy!
