It has been a fun last few days in kindergarten! With it being a "new" month, we got to make our November calendars and add the new monthly sight words to our sight word baggie! They worked so hard on their November calendars and they turned out so cute!

In Jolly Phonics today, we learned the letter "Yy" sound like in the words: yellow, yak, yarn, yard. When talking about things they could think of that began with "y" we thought of 14 things so I know tonight's homework will be really easy for them! I am amazed with how quickly they are learning the new Jolly Phonics sounds and applying what we learned into thinking of words that begin with the sound and writing the words on their own in their packets using "brave spelling!" It's truly AMAZING! They have all really taken off as readers and writers! When doing the Jolly Phonics lesson, they are always super excited to get to the end of the lesson where we get to read words as a class that contain the newly learned sound. I am so proud of all my kinder friends!

In handwriting, we learned how to write three more lowercase letters on our lined chalkboards and we practiced writing them in our handwriting workbooks. The afternoon class didn't get to work on handwriting today so we will working on it tomorrow. My kindergarten friends are doing wonderful learning how to write the letters the correct way from top to bottom and ensuring they are placing them on the lines correctly too. I am so proud of how nice and neat they are writing their letters and the pride they are putting into their work! Way to go, kindergarten friends!

We had a wonderful day in kindergarten and I look forward to another fun one with them tomorrow! Have a wonderful night, everyone!
