Another Busy Day in Kindergarten!

Students first listened to the story, Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons, written and read on CD by Eric Litwin.  During our second reading, students joined in and we read the book together. For our third reading, students retold the story to a partner, using story props - a shirt and sticker buttons!

 

During math, students played their first partner game, Pete the Cat Roll and Color. They had to take turns rolling the die, match the corresponding shoe and color accordingly.

Understanding syllables and parts of words is an important stepping stone in literacy acquisition! We clapped, counted and matched the syllables of the fruits from our Pete the Cat book!

We learned about Mat Man and how we use "little curves and big curves" and "big lines and little lines" to build Mat Man and ALL of the letters of the alphabet!

 Fun times playing with friends in kindergarten!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our friend!
