Fun on the hill!!

The Mitten and more..............

The kindergarten students have been having a great time listening to and now acting out the story, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. They are learning to make predictions, remember story details and sequence. All the students have been participating with great enthusiasm. They have recently brought home their paper mitten and animals to tell you the Mitten story, please encourage them to do so! We took a break from Jolly Phonics this week in order to fit in report card assessment, but please review their sounds in preparation for moving on next week. I am impressed at how well everyone it doing! Keep up the great work! Thanks for the super team work.

New Year Beginnings

Well we are getting back into the swing of things.  Our first SLP workshop was very informative and the students were introduced to the listening animals.  We will continue to use these descriptions throughout the year.
Owl - Listen with your eyes, look at who you are talking to
Gorilla - Listen with your brain, turn on your brain to listen
Hedgehog - Listen with your hands, keep your hands still and empty
Elephant - Listen with your ears, open your ears to listen
Bird - Listen with you mouth, wait your turn to talk
Aligator - Listen with your body, keep your body still

All students are working on being good listeners at our circle time.
