Nov. 4, 2019

In Language Arts, we started Unit 3, Week 1. Our new EQ is "What rules do we follow in different places?"
We discussed how rules for playing soccer are very different than rules for being a student in a classroom.
We read a fictional story "How do dinosaurs go to school?" and discussed how the dinosaur behaved when following the rules and when breaking the rules.
Our new letter is Ii, as in "insect".
Our new HFW is "to". We used "to" in sentences, such as "I like to play." We also compared "to" and "two" and discussed how they sound alike, but are spelled different and mean different things.
We also read "Iguana on Ice" and looked for items in the book that begin with /i/.

In Math, we completed Ch. 1, Lesson 7: Greater Than.
We focused on the math expression "greater than" and that it means "more than". It does not mean "better".
There is a Math Homework page that was sent home.

The students enjoyed Music and Spanish today.
We officially started prepping for Thanksgiving today by making turkeys to hang in our classroom as decorations. They look adorable.

Homework:

1. Math homework page for lesson 7.

2. Complete the Monday page in the Wonders Homework Packet

3. Letter writing journals were sent home today with
the letters T and I.
Students have two weeks to complete these 4 pages.
Please supervise your child's work in this book. When they repeat incorrect lettering, it's harder to change to correct lettering.
Please review the instructions inside the book.

4. We will be making Native American and Pilgrim costumes for our 
Thanksgiving Feast.
If your child would like to be a Native American, please send in
(an old, or dollar store) white, cream, beige, or tan pillowcase.
We will cut it and refashion it for the costume.
If your child would like to be a Pilgrim, please send in
(an old, or dollar store) white pillowcase.
We will refashion it into a collar, cuffs, and (for the girls) an apron.
They will be making hats and headresses, necklaces, and tom-toms.

We are continuing Unit 2, Week 2 in Language Arts.
We practiced blending words that begin with t, and identifying where the t sound is in a word (beginning or ending sound).
We read as a group "We like Tam".
The students also wrote HFW's and a sentence on white boards.
They are learning that every sentence has 3 parts:
1) They all start with an uppercase letter
2) They all have finger spaces between words
3) They all have an ending mark (punctuation mark).
Either a period, exclamation, or question mark.

In Math, we completed Ch 1, Lesson 1: Count 1,2, and 3.
There is a homework page.

The students enjoyed Library today.

We had a new set of Centers introduced today.
Our STEAM table is always a big hit.
The last task was to build one bridge big enough for 20 bears to cross at once.
This week, the task is to design a structure that will hold 5 pumpkins off the ground to avoid them from rotting.
In both challenges, they are given a set amount of supplies, and they must work as team and create one bridge/structure.

Letter Writing Journals: Students are to complete S and P pages. Pleae note, there are instructions inside the front cover, and letter formation examples inside the back cover.
Please check your child's work as they are doing it.
Your child knows we follow the writing lines. The Uppercase letters should touch the "ceiling" (top line) and the "floor" (bottom line). Most letters should not crash through the ceiling or floor, and they should not "float" in the middle.

The dotted line in the middle is the guide for lowercase letters.
Some letters do "crash" through the floor: lowercase p does.
Your help is appreciated, as homework provides good practice, and practicing the correct way to write a letter becomes habit.

New vocab words were introduced: tools (things that help people do things), and discover (to learn something new". We read an informational text book, "The Handiest Things in the World".

The letter Pp and sound /p/, as in piano, ws introduced.
We identified pictures of things that begin with /p/. We also read "The Pig's Picnic" to find words and items that begin with P.

We also spent time writing in our Storybook Journals. The students were to write the sentences: "I can see the ...." and "We can see the ..." They were to either draw a picture of what they "see", and/or try to sound out and write what they "see".  At this stage, we're still focused on how to use the Storybook Journals. (Finding the next empty page, writing the abbreviated date, writing the sentences on the correct lines, and drawing the picture in the space above the writing lines.
The goal is to see continued improvement as the year goes on.

The students enjoyed Library today.

Today, Language Arts, we started Week 3 of Unit 1, and our new
Essential Question is "How can your senses help you learn?" We talked about how our senses help us. We learned vocab words: "senses" (seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting); and "explore" (carefully look at new info or places). We read an informational text book titled "My Five Senses".
Our new letter was introduced "Ss" and the sound /s/. We identified pictures that begin with /s/. We read the story "Seal's Silly Sandwich", and looked for items in the story that begin with /s/.
Our new HFW is "see". Please add that to your index flash cards at home.

We had a presentation with a Firefighter, Mr. Taggart.
the students learned about calling 9-1-1 for emergencies;
How to Stop, Drop, Cover your face, and Roll if their clothes were ever on fire; and what to say if there was a fire in their home and they could hear a firefighter...."Help me, help me, I'm over here!"
Mr. Taggart put on his firefighter protective clothing and walked around high fiving our friends, teaching them not to ever be afraid of a firefighter.
He gave them a homework assignment to talk with their families about a meeting spot if ever they had to leave their house because of a fire.
Please discuss this with your child.

Here are a few pics from today!

Happy last day of September!

Today was a typical busy Monday in Language Arts.
We began Unit 1, Wk 2. Our Essential Question is "How do baby animals move?" We discussed ways penguins move, and how babies move differently than older animals. We learned vocab words:
"adventure" (to do something new and exciting); and
"movement" (to move from one place to another).
We also read the fantasy story "Pouch" about a baby kangaroo going on adventures every day. The students really laughed at this story, you might want to ask them what it was about.  They were asked to retell the story and identify what happened at the beginning, middle, and end. We were focusing on reading comprehension.
Our new letter is Aa, as in apple.
We practiced skywriting the letters Aa, and identified pictures that begin with the /a/ sound.
We also read "The Adventures of Abby Alligator" and looked for things that began with the letter "a" in the story.

Sept. 26, 2019

Today, in Language Arts, we started a very important part of our daily lessons which we will practice every day: blending. This is when I say 3 sounds, they mimic me, then I slowly push the sounds together, they mimic me; then I say the word, then they mimic me.
ex: c    a    t; cccc aaaa tttt; cat
I explained that the secret to reading is knowing the sounds the letters make and being able to blend them together.
We also reviewed our HFW's and nouns.

In Math, we started our new Chapter 11: Two-Dimensional Shapes
I sent home the Common Core State Standards to show you what your child will be learning.
We completed the "Am I Ready?" mini assessment. They were introduced to vocabulary for this chapter and reviewed the vocab cards. These also were send home. There is no Math homework.

The students enjoyed Technology today.

In the afternoon, we stayed with our bear theme, and "went on a bear hunt". This was a fun video we watched and acted out the parts of a bear hunt. They loved it, as you can see from the photos!


We also practiced sorting Teddy Grahams by chocolate, chocolate chip and honey on a bar graph. We shared what flavor each had the most.
Then we did a taste test and voted on flavors. Chocolate was the most liked!  After they were able to eat some for a snack, or put them in a baggie to take home.


 
Finally, I put up the Disguised Bear Wall!
Thank you, parents, for helping your child to have fun with this activity!

They all look fantastic!

Homework:

In the Wonders homework packet,

Sept. 25, 2019

Today in Language Arts, we read a story "The Lion and the Mouse". We discussed the genre: fable. The students learned that a fable is a fiction (make believe) story that teaches a lesson. We learned 3 new vocabulary words: grasped (to hold something tightly); escape (to get out and away from someplace); and rescue (to help people or animals get away from danger). The story contained all of these vocab words.
We reviewed our HFW's: I, can, the.

In Math, we completed our Review assessments on Ch. 9
There is no homework in Math tonight.

Great first day of Show and Tell! I was impressed that they all remembered their clues to give! The students also did a great job as listeners when others were presenting their items.

Sept. 24, 2019

Today, in Language Arts, the students retold the events in the story "What About Bear". We identified the genre (what type of book it is), as Fantasy, because it is not real. A bear and a goose would not play checkers, etc. 
We started learning about "nouns" (person/animal, place or thing).
I called out several examples and asked if it was a noun.....then asked why. They got the concept of a noun pretty quickly.
We also started identifying sounds and isolating it's location as the beginning or ending sound in a word. (Ex: where do you hear the mm sound in the word ham, or mat.) This is a skill that will take some practice yet is so important to reading and writing.

In Math, we completed the final lesson in Chapter 9. The students were given shapes of different colors and sized and the had to sort by shape.
There is a homework page that was sent home and tomorrow will be our (mini) assesstment on the chapter.

The children did a great job singing for the Bishop!
They also did a great job sitting in church, without their 8th grade buddies.

The class enjoyed Library today.

Yay for Independence Day!
It's so exciting to see the students coming all the way down the hallway by themselves!

Today, in Language Arts, the students listened to the story "Kindergarten Can". The story discusses things children can do in Kindergarten. We discussed ways in the story that were alike what we can do in our school, and ways that were different.
The students also chorally read the story "At School". As a group, they were able to identify and read the words "I" and "can", and then use picture clues to finish the sentences.
We are continuuing our review of alphabet letters, and sounds.
In Math, we completed Lesson 1: Alike and Different. We used colored shapes and sorted them by ways they were alike and ways they were different. There is a Math homework page that was sent home.
We continued our Bear Unit, by reading "Corduroy Bear" and "Corduroy Bear wants a Pocket". We brainstormed ideas of what would be good to keep in a pocket.
The students enjoyed Library today.
We started a new round of centers today. Our centers are comprised of Reading, two language arts based activites using manipulatives, and a math based activity.

We're off to our 2nd full week of school!
Today, we started our 3rd and final week of Smart Start Unit in Language Arts. Our Essential Question is: "What can you do?". The students took turns sharing what they can do. Then we discussed what they can do now that they couldn't do when they were a baby.
We are also continuing to review our alphabet letters,
and our HFW's: "I" and "can".
I did send home their Wonders weekly homework packet.

In Math, the students completed the "Am I ready" page of our new Chapter 9: Classify Objects. I sent home the Common Core State Standards so you can see what we will be working on in this chapter.
There is no Math Homework tonight.

The students enjoyed Music and Spanish today.
In Music, they learned the song "Jesus Loves the Little Children".
They will be singing this song to the Bishop when he visits us in the next week or so.

We are starting a Bear unit. Today the students listened to the story "The Bear Under The Stairs", about a little boy with quite an imagination. Over the next two weeks, we will be reading Bear stories, completing Bear projects, going on a bear hunt, counting with bears, taste testing with Teddy Grahams,
and having a Teddy Bear Day at school!

Tomorrow:
Tuesday, September 17th is
INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Parents will say goodbye at the entrance to the building
and students will walk down the hallway to class on their own!

Thank you all for taking the time to attend Back to School Night!

The students looked handsome and beautiful, all dressed for picture day!

Today, in Language Arts, we continued to review our letters, our HFW's, and we read poems looking for rhyming words.
We did not have Math due to picture day.

The students enjoyed Technology.
In the afternoon, we had Centers followed by Religion.

They were introduced to "Busy Bee Journals".
These are independent workbooks I've created, filled with an assortment of pages. There are math pages, coloring pages, language arts pages, dot to dot activity pages, etc. When they finish their work at their table during centers, they may quietly get their Busy Bee Journal and work on any page/pages that they choose.
They received Journal #1 today. When they complete a Busy Bee Journal, they receive 5 stickers! They literally gasped at this.
5 stickers at once!

Homework:
Complete the Thursday page in the Wonders homework packet.
They will be collected tomorrow.

We counted how many words there were in a sentence.
The students listened to a Chinese fable: "Tikki Tikki Tembo". They later retold what happened in the story and identified different characters in the story.

In Math, we completed Lesson 3: Positions - "Next to" and "Beside".
The students acted out the positions and completed their worksheets. There is an accompanying Math Homework page that was sent home and is due back on Friday.

The students enjoyed Library today.

HOMEWORK for this week:
.
1. Please make a new flashcard with the HFW: "can"

NEWS:
It is working well with parents saying goodbye outside our classroom door.
Children normally react differently to separation.
We're very tolerant of differences.
And we appreciate your support.
If your child will walk down the hall by themselves, that's great! You may say goodbye at the front door! We will be having "Independence Day" for Kindergarten shortly after the Back to School Night. Independence Day is when all children in Kindergarten walk themselves down the hall to their class. The date will be announced that night.

Wednesday, Sept. 11th at 6:30pm

Sept. 5, 2019

We completed our first Language Arts packet for our Smart Start Unit. The students receive these packets at the start of the week and we work on them each day. They should not go home until the end of the week when they are completed. Please look through them and see if your child is completing each page. I always walk around the room and encourage them to complete the tasks. However, at this point, I do not make an issue if they are not doing the work. I simply encourage them to try their best. I will be watching for participation patterns as we continue. If you see empty pages, you might want to discuss the reason with your child.

In Math, we completed Ch. 10, Lesson 2: Positions: "In front of" and "Behind". A homework page was sent home. Again, I would suggest looking at your child's work pages to see if they are completing the pages.

The students enjoyed Technology today.

In Religion, we completed Ch. 1: God Made All Things.
They also drew pictures in their workbooks of God's gifts.
 
HOMEWORK:

We continued our Smart Start Unit focusing on what makes people special. The students listened to a story from our Interactive Read Aloud cards, "The Ugly Duckling". The students are learning about "genres", which means what type of book it is. Today's genre was a tale, which usually has a lesson in the story.
The students also read along with me "I am Special". They identified how each child in the story was special.

In Math, we completed Ch. 10, Lesson 1: How do I identify positions? We reviewed our vocabulary words: above, below, in front of, behind, beside, and next to. I sent home the Chapter cover page which covers the curriculum for the chapter. The workbook pages we completed were sent home, along with a matching homework page. Homework is due back on Friday.

I began my classroom Kindergarten assessing, and hope to have it completed by the end of the week, or early next week.

The students enjoyed Art today.

Math homework page was sent home. It is due back by Friday, but you may send it in any day before then.

Sept. 3, 2019

Welcome to September!

Today, in Language Arts, we started Unit 1 Smart Start.
Our Essential Question of the week is: How is everyone special?
We discussed what makes people special and how they are special.
They listened to the Big Book: Animals in the Park: An ABC Book.
We reviewed the parts of a book and the students identified objects in the book that started with the letters in the alphabet.
Our first word for our word wall is "I", as in "I like ice-cream."
Our word wall will be made up of "High Frequency Words", aka "HFW's". These are words that are frequently used but are not sounded our phonetically like c-a-t, for cat.
The students gave examples of sentences with the word "I".

In Math, we completed the "Am I ready" page for our first lesson.

We started writing in our Story Journals. We really are still learning how to find the page, and how to write the date on the page. Today, they had to write a sentence with our new word.
They were encouraged to write "I" and draw what they like to do.

The students also explored their Science books. We are beginning with the lesson on Senses.

HOMEWORK WAS SENT HOME TODAY!
In Language Arts, we have a homework packet that will go home every week. The work is short, and intended to be practice for what we are working on in our Wonders program.
Students will complete one page per night. The day of the week is on the homework in the upper right hand corner.
Please keep this packet in their folder all week long. We will collect them on Fridays. They will recieve a sticker (in the beginning) for completing this homework packet. 
Please know, if it is not completed by Friday, that's fine. I know you have busy schedules. Just turn it in when it is completed and they will still receive a sticker!

We had another good day in Kindergarten today!

We spent a lot of time reviewing procedures, such as:
walking quietly in hallways, showing kind behavior during morning meeting, how to be a good listener during morning lessons, and how to get completely quiet on the "Silent Sidewalk" leading up to the church.
They were able to walk up and down the "Silent Sidewalk" in complete silence, so they were rewarded with an extra morning recess on the playground!
They listened to the story "Mrs. Bindergarten gets ready for Kindergarten", and after they shared what they did to get ready for Kindergarten.
They also completed a paper with a drawing of themselves at the beginning of Kindergarten, and wrote their name on it. I did not send these home. I like to hold them in their file and send them home at the end of the year along with an "end of year" drawing. It's a fun comparison.
We've also started reviewing the parts of a book: front cover, back cover, title, author & illustrator.

The students enjoyed Art today as their special.

In Religion, they listened to two chapters in The Children's Bible: The beginning; and Adam & Eve. They are excited to hear the next chapter: The Sneaky Snake.

For Social Studies, we read our Let's Find Out magazine "School Rules", watched the video, and played the interactive game on the Smartboard indentifying letters.

Friday, August 30th is an Early Dismissal Day at 11:35am
Please still send in a morning snack and an Eagle's Club lunch and snack for those that attend.

Great First Day in KB!
What a super group of students I have!
There were the normal and expected hesitant students and a few tears at drop off. But that all went away very quickly!

We immediately covered how to let us know about bathroom and tissue requests. That all went well today.

We talked about the one class rule: Be Kind.
We reviewed what exactly that means. How do we show kindness to others?

I read the story "The Kissing Hand". It's about a nervous young racoon starting school and wanting to stay home instead.
The young racoon's mom gives him a kiss on his hand that stays with him all day long to help him feel better.
In the end, the young racoon decides to give his mom
a kiss on her hand,
to help her cope with him leaving.
The class listened attentively without any signs of tears. However, for those of you that don't know me, I just sent my "baby" off to  college. So, I was the one who was close to tears at the end of this story!
They completed an activity of coloring a hand and gluing a kiss on it. They also received a "feelings on the first day of school" paper to color in how they felt. Many chose to color all the faces because they felt all those feelings today!
The students also enjoyed Library for their Special today.
Wednesday's Special is Art
Thursday is Technology
Friday is Gym
Monday is both Music and Spanish

I look forward to seeing them tomorrow!


Friday, August 30th is an Early Dismissal Day at 11:35am

Hello everyone!
It was so wonderful to meet those of you who were able to attend the Open House on Tuesday.
I can tell by all those sweet faces and different personalities, that it is going to be a fantastic year!
If you weren't able to be there, or didn't bring your items with you, please don't worry.
Just bring them this upcoming first week of school.
These are the items to bring in:
~ Decorated Frog or Flower
~ Questionnaire
~ Crayons and any other supplies

Our first day of School is Tuesday, August 27th. Yay!
It is a full day.
Please send in a snack and water bottle for your child.
You may order lunch or send in lunch from home.
If your child is attending Eagle's Club, please send a separate snack for afterschool.
Please also make sure they have a rest towel.

You are welcome to walk them down to the classroom, and in, if they need your support. We will be having Independence Day later in September, and that's when the Kindergarteners will walk themselves in and down the hall by themselves!
(Just keep in mind, the sooner you walk away, the easier it is for your child to get started with their day, with our help.)

I'm so excited to get started!

Last two items:
1.  Please wear your name tag the first two weeks of school.
2. Remember to open your squishy letter at bed time,
the night before Kindergarten!

See you Tuesday!
Mrs. Pogonyi
