We have been so busy in our kindergarten classroom learning about dinosaurs. We have some great dinosaur experts that are keeping me on my toes! :) We have been reading many fiction and nonfiction books and creating many different fun projects. On Friday we made dinosaur eggs with our 4th grade buddies. This was a fun and messy adventure. We will work on painting our eggs and wrapping up a few more projects before our Kindergarten Dinosaur Exhibit on Thursday, May 1st. Our exhibit will take place from 2:00-2:45. There will be a 'sign out sheet' for anyone who will be taking their child home following the exhibit on this day.
Throughout the week we will continue to work on Word Wall, Writing Workshop, Handwriting, Daily Five Literacy Stations, Math lessons and so much more! Last week we began a new writing unit: Persuasive/Opinion Writing! Our goal is to teach the children that they can use words and pictures to solve problems and make the world around them a better place. So far we have had some kindergarten writers trying to persuade children how important it is to... put the caps on our markers and glue sticks, to keep our cubby area clean, to take care of our books, and to 'not break apart lego structures' that kids are working on. We are off to a great start with this writing unit. I am so very proud of the children's hard work and their growth in writing.
I am looking forward to seeing you on Thursday! :)
Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
