This week we had a special kindergarten guest reader! Miles made a special book at home and wanted to share it with his classmates! He was so proud to be the author and the illustrator! Miles inspired other students to create a short story to read to the class as well. Aubrie was so pleased to get a chance to share her story as well! It makes my heart full when the students take it upon themselves to show such interest in stories and reading! I am one proud kindergarten teacher!
This week we expanded on our community unit by discussing different stores and buildings we see in our neighborhood or community. We made a list of over 20 different places we recognize in our communities. During our writing workshop time, we wrote what places we like to visit. We also recognized many community helpers such as doctors, nurses, teachers, crossing guards, police officers, firefighters, and so many more! The students are really enjoying our unit on community!
This week the students worked very hard with adding two-digit numbers using the Montessori Bank Game! Many of the students are ready to work on this independently and will eventually begin working in the hundreds!
