What's happening in Kindergarten ?

This week in kindergarten we started our unit on Oviparous animals. Ask them what Oviparous means. They are so smart. We read "Horton Hatches an Egg" and completed a story map. We have been learning about who the characters are in a story, the setting, aswell as what happened at the beginning, middle, and ending of the story. Their recall is excellent. They are really picking up on important details in the stories we are reading. You can do this at home after you finish reading a story. Their comprehension will improve greatly and will make reading more enjoyable. We just had our 131th day of school and when we looked at our tooth chart we discovered that between both kindergarten classes we have lost 54 teeth to date. Wow that is alot of teeth. I think I pulled about 1/3 of them in class. I can't wait to see how many more they lose. They tell me everyday how many loose teeth they have. I hope some of them fall out before the end of the year. There are many activities coming up, please look for information to come home in your childs folder soon.
