What We Are Doing:
Math- The students have explored the different Math Centers in the room. We are also reviewing our numbers and making a number book. This activity shows me whether or not the students know their numbers and it reinforces writing numbers. We will create a pattern museum later this week.
Literacy- We are working on our alphabet sounds and letters for literacy. Some students are learning their letters and sounds, while for others this is review. Some students are still meeting with Mrs. Lambrecht and showing me what they know.
Theme: For theme this week we are working on our All About Me Posters. We are also discussing how to make good choices in school and the qualities of a good student and a good teacher.

What we are doing:
This week we will learn about our classroom. The students will learn about each center that is set up in the classroom. They will also learn about the rules for Kindergarten and Stargate. We will take a tour around the school. We are also learning about each other and how to be good friends. This is an important week in Kindergarten. The transition may be difficult for some students and easier for others; we will work with each child to make them as comfortable as we can with Kindergarten. Later in the week we will begin assessing students for Literacy groups.
