We Are 100 Days Smarter!

I cannot believe that we have been in school for 100 days already! What an accomplishment and boy did we celebrate on Wednesday! Dressing up like we were 100 years old was only half the fun as we made crowns, glasses, had 100 snacks and then reflected on what is something we didn't know 100 days ago. I had a blast celebrating all that your children have learned and I think they did too! Here are some fun photos from the day!

We had 10 pieces of 10 different types of snack!

100 days ago I didn't know other people and now I know people!

100 days ago I didn't know how to write my shapes

100 days ago I didn't know how to count to 100!

All in all it was a wonderful hundreds day! While some students thought that they were going to first grade next week, I told them that Kindergarten is over half over! It is crazy how time flies when you are having fun!

The H Brothers

In the homework this week I sent home a story about Theodore, Sherman, Whit and Charles the H brothers. This was the introduction to digraphs which are Th, Sh, Wh and Ch sounds. In class over the next few weeks we will be looking closely at those sounds, using them in our writing and finding words that start with those sounds in our reading groups. If you happen to make a "Sh" sound or "Ch" you can help students connect this to the H brothers which will help them understand these concepts better!

3D Geometry

This week we also jumped into 3D geometry. Students learned that 2D shapes are flat like triangles and squares but when it is 3D it is real life. Students were introduced to sphere, cylinder, cone and cube! You can help students deepen their understanding of 3D shapes by helping them notice shapes in your house, at the store or anywhere! 

Next week we have a busy week with a field trip and read across America! I can't wait for all the fun we will have.

Smiles,
