Happy Monday, everyone! Today we were busy little owls and we had a great day! I am so proud of how well all my kindergarten friends have our kindergarten routine down and how independent they are all becoming. We have created a family like atmosphere and the interactions that occur in my classroom are just adorable! 

In math today, we learned all about the number 6 and understanding the quantity of it. Both classes really enjoy working with numbers and are having fun showing me what they learn after each lesson. Great job, K-1 and K-3!

In Jolly Phonics, we started a "new" set of letter sounds learning all about the letter "Gg." Last week we finished another set of letter sounds where we are beginning our third set this week. We are flying through Jolly Phonics and both classes are doing great learning the sounds and plugging them in when decoding words. I am AMAZED and they are all starting to take off as readers! It's so EXCITING!

This is the motion and sound for the letter "Gg" that we learned today. After we listened to the story about this letter sound, both classes found a lot of wonderful words that begin with "Gg" such as: girl, garden, goat, Gayle, gloves, garbage. I know they will do a wonderful job tonight finding things to put into their sound book for this letter sound! With each new sound we learn with Jolly Phonics, they are building their letter sound vocabulary which is allowing them to read more and more words! They have ALL begun reading and I can't explain how exciting it is to see and hear them read words on their own. Way to go, K-1 and K-3!

It was another wonderful day in kindergarten! Thank you for sharing your adorable children with me each and every day! They make me smile every day! Have a great night, everyone!
