We are a couple of weeks in to Kindergarten! We are doing the work of kindergarteners and having lots of fun!
After our Crew morning meeting, we spend time doing the work of mathematicians.
We are modeling our thinking by using manipulatives, drawing pictures and solving math problems. We have worked hard to understand the math vocabulary of equal, less than and greater than.
Our crew is already doing the work of readers by exploring books. We have explored song books, ABC books and pattern books. Students are growing their identify as a reader by reflecting using "I am the kind of reader who...." We are learning about the books we love and the places in our classroom to sit that help us do the hard work of readers.
After lunch, we are persevering to do the work of writers. Students have been drawing pictures to tell stories. We are reflecting on what makes pictures that we draw high quality.
The most important work we are doing in our day is PLAYING! We are a couple of weeks into our Play and Toys Learning Expedition. Students are doing the hard work of sharing, including others, taking care of materials and using kind words. This important work is helping us create a culture of belonging, kindness, respect and fun!
