Job Well Done!



On Wednesday Charlotte, Leah, Kavender Grace, Griffin, Benjamin and Locke presented a reader's theater in our class. They did a fanatastic job! They memorized thier lines and were very excited about presenting "Snowflakes" for the class. In March we will start learning a different reader's theater. A reader's theater is a great way to practice our reading skills, working together and speaking in front of others. In first grade the students will have more opportunities to take part in more complicated reader's theaters.




We had a very fun week! Valentine's Day is always great in a Kindergarten classroom. This week is going to be the beginning of our Fairy tale unit. We are starting with my favorite, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"! We have props for the children to use when they act out the story. They usually love acting out the fairy tale during centers! One of the assessments at the end of the year is retelling a fairy tale and this unit gives them the background knowledge they need to complete the assessment with flying colors.




I hope your week is wonderful!
