I missed the kindergartners while I was gone. I had a class about math manipulatives which will help me when we start to add numbers later on. All the kids are doing so well with numbers already, that I am sure they will enjoy adding when we get to it.
Today we started talking about teeth and good health. We started with a game of touch your teeth, lips, your knees, your h__s. (hint: it rhymes with lips). The kids love anything that seems like a game or has a song with it. We read Arthur's Loose Tooth and felt bad for Arthur until his friends started trying to help him with his loose tooth. They thought it was funny that a friend was willing to punch him in the mouth to make his tooth fall out. We started to learn the words you and are today when we thought about how we would feel before and after we lost a tooth. (You are sad, you are happy...) We made posters about how to keep our teeth healthy. You can see them in the hall outside our room or inside our room. Please come in and look at our self portraits, too!! Wednesday we studied Vincent Van Gogh's self portrait. It was yellow and red, mixed into orange. We started with yellow skin and ended up with all shades of yellow, orange and red. Then we finished off with some brown and blue. We did a really good job!
We were really good at guessing how many yellow leaves Mrs. B brought to school today. It was 15 and we thought maybe 11 to 14. It gets harder to fool us kids! We learned how to write the number five. That was not hard for us! We used white boards to practice. Did you know that a five starts just like our last number 4. That helped us get started.
We read a really fun story about David and Goliath today. The pictures were made of different kinds of trash. It told the story of David and we were able to find out that this is the same David that wrote our Psalm 147:7through9. I can see them spending a few days looking for things on the pages because it is in the format of a treasure hunt.
We said our memory verse with the motions without Mrs. B today. Friday the whole section is due: Psalm 147:7-9 and 11. I told the kids they need to say where it is found. They have motions for the 7 and 7,9 to help them remember.
Let me know if you are getting this! I hope so.
