Super Improvers!

Our Super Improvers program is well underway and a great success! Students are learning to be proactive as they manage their own behavior at school. Many have earned their first reward.
Notice how proud and excited they look sharing favorite stuffed animals and using the special school supplies!

Look how we are learning to work together....

Each day we spend time sharing non-fiction books.



Developing Number Sense

As  we learn to read and write numbers, we have also been learning different ways to show them. Today, we used 5 frames and counters to practice this skill.







The Gunnywolf

This has become one of our favorite stoybooks! We have had a lot of fun reading and retelling this story. We even got to work with a partner to "read" it with puppets!

There's a leader in me....


Have you heard your kindergartener talk about being proactive? Or being in charge of themselves? This week we introduced the 7 habits of happy & healthy kids and we focused on Habit 1, Being Proactive. 
Today we had a visit from our 5th grade buddies. Together we listened to a story and pulled details from the text that demonstrated how the character could have been more proactive. Finally we made a picture of ourselves and we each pledged to be in charge of ourself.

We are Readers!

Today we walked through the classroom
in a special way! We did not just see it. We read it!
