With it being a "new" month, we got to make our November calendars today and I also sent home our new sight words for the month a few days ago. They all worked so hard on their November calendars and they turned out so cute! They couldn't wait to bring them home to share with all of you! These calendars are A LOT of work but they are learning SO much while they create them such as: problem solving, following directions, practicing writing their numbers from 1-30 in order the correct way, how to turn shapes into other shapes, patterns, working on strengthening their fine motor skills and so much more! We had so much fun making the calendars today!
In Jolly Phonics today, we learned the letter "qu" digraph sound like in the words: quack, quilt, queen, quit. When talking about things they could think of that began with "qu" or had the digraph in it, they were able to think of quite a few words 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 the morning class today, we also got to celebrate Ameila's 6th birthday with her! Happy Birthday, Ameila!
