C.J. is star student.
Monday - I can't believe that the weather is still rainy and cold! Needless to say we spent recess inside. Some kinders came to school without jackets though. Unless it is raining we are outside at recess. The kinders get cold. Please make sure they dress in layers. Thank you. Today we worked on writing in our All About Me books. Since we were inside at recess I put in a Magic School Bus video called, Inside Ralphie. It was about a little boy who is sick and it went through how our body reacts to fight germs. The kinders were fascinated!
Tuesday - In Writer's Workshop we worked on writing our first book report. We wrote another page in our All About Me books too. In math we are wrapping up our unit on time.
Wednesday - Career Day - We were very lucky to have a police officer and a firefighter. Officer Anton from the SFPD came and told the kinders about his job. He showed them some of the tools he uses and his Motorcycle with sirens and flashing lights. Then we walked over to Fire Fighter Nick's fire engine. He showed them all of his tools and they each got to sit in the driver's seat! A very exciting day!
Thursday - Gia was teacher for the day! The kinders had to call her Miss Gia. Gia loves cats, so our theme for the day was cats. For Daily News Miss Gia had the kinders write about their favorite animal. She also led them in a directed drawing of a cat and then helped me oversee their Writer's Workshop paper on cats. I also gave her an official teacher pen and she helped me check their work. Miss Gia did a fantastic job! The kinders loved having another kinder as their teacher. Next Thursday we will have Ben Schiff as our teacher of the day. His theme will be baseball. Your kinder can wear a t-shirt supporting their favorite team. Even if it is the Dodgers. (Go Giants!) We also visited Mrs. Dee's fifth grade class. They put on a wax museum.
Each of her fifth graders dressed up as an important historical figure and gave us a short speech about their person. They did a fantastic job!
Friday - We wrote thank you notes to our visitors on Career Day. This week three of our butterflies have hatched. Ask your kinder. they are so excited!
Have a great weekend!
