Today was such a fun day in kindergarten celebrating the 100th Day of school! Last night, I decorated the classroom with little number 100 signs and I hung a "Happy 100th Day" streamer in the walkway as they entered the classroom. When they saw the streamers, they all had the BIGGEST smiles and they walked in with so much excitement and joy. We welcomed our zoomies with big smiles and you could see their excitement too as we said hello to them. It was the cutest! I have attached some adorable pictures of some things we did in class to celebrate our 100th Day. It will give all of you an inside glimpse to our kindergarten fun. I was so impressed with both classes hard work today and the best part was to see all the genuine fun they all truly had! Some of the kids kept saying, " Mrs. Naughten this is the BEST DAY EVER!" It melted my heart! It truly was a great day in kindergarten and a wonderful way to celebrate our fun 100 days of learning together!

 The last two days in kindergarten we have been really busy with Jolly Phonics, handwriting, math and fun fall activities. Here are some things we have done the last two days:

In Jolly Phonics yesterday, we learned the sound the digraph "th" makes. It was a "tricky" one because the two letters together make two different sounds. My kindergarten friends did great learning the "new" sound and transferring what they learned into reading and writing some "th" words on their own. Today, we had a Jolly Phonics review day where they did two different activities to practice the last 6 sounds we learned. One was a sound sort and the other was spelling C-V-C (consonant-vowel- consonant) words with the sounds we have already learned through Jolly Phonics. I was SO impressed with how well all my kinder friends completed both activities on their own! I was especially proud of how great they did sounding out the picture words and hearing all the sounds to write the words themselves! They did amazing! Way to go, K-1 and K-3!

In math, we have been learning and practicing the concept of more than and less than. With each activity we do, I can see they have become experts in this newly learned concept. 

Today, we took a break from the curriculum and we did a directed draw scarecrow project. My kinder friends were so excited about doing this activity and they did a great job following my step-by-step directions into making their own. It was so fun to see how everyone's scarecrows turned out when given the same directions. Each one turned out different and reflected each learner's personality. Both classes couldn't wait to bring their scarecrows home and share them with their families. They did a great job!

It was a fun week in K-1 and K-3! I am truly amazed with all they are learning! They are ALL doing great! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
