Today in Jolly Phonics, we learned the letter "Xx" sound like in the words: x-ray, fox, box, fix. The motion is to pretend you are taking an x-ray with a camera saying "ks, ks, ks." The class did a great job learning all about the letter "Xx" and showing me what they learned about the new sound in their Jolly Phonics packets.

In handwriting today, we learned how to write three more lowercase letters that belong to the "magic c" family. We learned how to write the letters a, d, and g. My kinders did a great job learning how to make the correct letter formation for all three letters and with practice, did a great job writing them in their workbooks. In their workbooks, I am working hard to remind them to write slowly to ensure they are writing the letters the correct way and doing their best work! I always tell them that "Practice makes better!" 

We also had math today where we are learning the "tricky" concept of composing and decomposing numbers within 10. They did a great job learning this new concept and practicing it in their math workbooks!

With all the hard work today, the class had fun taking a well-deserved "brain break!" I always LOVE seeing all the creative things they make with the colored blocks, bristle blocks and legos. It's fun to see them working together to build something and just having fun with one another! Kindergarten is a magical place! So much fun!
