A short, but busy, week this week. Today we had Picture Day, PTA Book Fair, and a Peace Assembly. My class’s agenda today was:
- Pledge of Allegiance
- Group Time
- Story Jazz Baby
- Work Time
- Media
- Recess
- Story
- LUNCH
- Recess
- Calendar Time
- Math
- Work Time (Pattern Blocks)
- Centers
- Group Time (to discuss our day and mention things for tomorrow)
Whew! Keep in mind that we have only been in school for 10 days! During Calendar Time, we not only add today’s date, we talk about how what numerals we need to make the date (“21” needs a 2 and a 1), we add a number to our 100’s chart, and we add a straw to our Place Value Chart. Since today is the 10th day of school, we banded up the 10 straws in the ONES pocket and moved the bundle of 10 to the TENS pocket. Now they can see that 10 really means 1 ten and 0 ones.
We will be finishing up our Smart Start Unit.
Next week we will start UNIT !.
Our THEME for the next 3 week will be FAMILIES.
Unit 1 theme is My Family and Me.

Kindergarteners will be taking the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) Reading and Math tests this year. These measurements of progress are given 3 times a year, Beginning, Mid-Year, and End. They measure student growth and learning needs.
I’ll try to post some pictures.
Enjoy your long weekend.
