It's fall time, and we've been learning all about apples. We had an apple tasting party and made a graph of our favorite kind of apples! We read about apples, counted apples, colored apples, tasted apples, and we'll be cooking with apples next week! We'll be making apple pie and you're all welcome to share it with us next Wednesday at 2pm!
We read Dr. Seuss's book, Ten Apples Up On Top, and then had a hilarious time trying to balance apples. We only got up to two.
We are moving right along in reading and math. This week we started our math and reading groups. We do a lot of small group work so that the kids get more one-on-one time with the teacher. The kids are enjoying working together and helping each other with their math... Buddy Math!
One piece of our reading curriculum is a new computer program the District invested in this year called Lexia Core 5 Reading. It is an adaptive program that places the kids at their own level, and teaches the kids game style, while providing data and feedback to me on which skills the kids need more work on with the teacher. We are really excited about Lexia! Of course, we still spend lots of time with real books, doing read-alouds and guided reading and phonics skills in our classroom!
We got to participate in the District cross country race held at Tok on Thursday... ALL of the kinders ran a 1/2 mile! I was so proud of them! They had so much fun they wanted to run some more!
