A Rainy Tuesday

We began our day with Writer's Workshop and listened to the book A Squiggly Story by Andrew Larsen for inspiration.  The little boy in the story wants to write words like his big sisters but he tells her there's a problem.  He knows letters but he doesn't know any words!  His sisters encourages him to start with a letters and he is able to create an amazing story!

Kindergarten writers are really working hard and beginning to think about adding words to their stories just like the boy in this book!

During Math we continued work on 1 less playing a game with a partner where a dice was rolled and students said the number that was one less. 

Our read aloud today was Todd Parr's The Earth Book and Kindergarten shared ways that they can help to protect our Earth!  During Reader's Workshop we have also been focusing on matching words that begin with the same initial sound.  One of our favorite ways to do this is through a Bingo matching game.
