September 23rd - 27th

 This week the students worked on creating words using the Montessori movable alphabet. We think of a word that begins with a certain letter and write it phonetically.  Next, the students write the word in their journal and create a picture to go with it.  Soon we will start writing phonetic sentences.  This week our words of the week were:  see, the.  The letter of the week was:  B.

The students really enjoy using the movable alphabet as a center in the classroom.  A list of fall words are displayed so the students can read and copy the words with the materials.

This week the students worked hard on phonics, handwriting, and writing the number 3!

September 16th - 20th

 The boys and girls continue to work well with routines, rules, and following directions.  We have started working in our small groups reviewing small sight and phonetic words and building two digit numbers with the Montessori math materials!  This week we learned about the sound for letter T and our words of the week were:  you, have.  We worked on writing numbers 1 and 2 along with the letter of the week:  T.

When asked the question, "What is science?" the class came up with a fantastic list of things about science!  We also discussed what does a scientist do and what tools can they use for experiments.  This week we had the chance to explore our nature space with magnifying glasses.  We got a close look at grass, dirt, leaves, and trees!  We are excited to be kindergarten scientists!
