Every morning in the Kindergarten room is jam-packed with action and activity. We get started as soon as students arrive for the day with our calendar time, where we review the month, days of the week, weather and season. Each day, a different student leads this for the class. They use their own voice to ask their friends: What number day is it today? What day of the week is it? What was yesterday? What is tomorrow? What's the weather like? and more. This helps them to build confidence, practice public speaking, develop leadership skills, and more.
We then move into small groups to work on ELA concepts. This week, we played lots of "sight word jenga". In this game, students have to read a sight word and use it in a sentence before removing a block from the tower. After ELA, we have a nice long "brain break"! This is time for students to play in our courtyard or inside. 2 photos above show Ariya and Zach making giant snowballs to form a snow person!
