Happy October!

It was an awesome Monday in Kindergarten!  This morning was our first day of literacy centers during Reader's Workshop.  Kindergarten did an excellent job staying with their groups and working hard the whole time.  Some of our centers were: illustrating our poem of the week Fall Leaves, using magnetic letters to 'write' our names, using salt trays to practice 'writing' uppercase letters, and reading with a buddy.  Throughout the week Kindergarteners will get to go to all stations, some twice and next week the stations will change.

Our poem this week:

Fall Leaves

One is orange,
Two are brown,
Three look yellow
On the ground.

Three are green,
Two bright red,
One just fell
Upon my head!

During Math we thought of strategies to sort and count a bag of cubes.  Kindergarten also went to two math stations today.  A favorite math station was figuring out how many rocks they could stack!  Last week we read Ten Apples on Top a story of animals who stack apples up on top of their heads.  Kindergarten used rocks to see how many they could stack and then drew a picture and wrote how many.
