Independent Reading

We have been hard at work during Independent Reading! Students are beginning to see that they are indeed readers! We learned that readers read for a variety of purposes. 

We also learned that everyone around us reads. Ms. Bennett reads articles about learning, the news, and of course, books. Mr. I reads tons of emails. Ms. Biamont  reads book reviews and signs on her way to school. 

We learned that as readers we read a lot of things other than books! 

We talked about where we liked to read at home and what independent reading would look like at school. Students got their reading spots chosen all around the room and we began reading!

The next week we introduced and modeled ways to read a book. Students practiced understanding a story by studying the pictures. They also practiced reading the words they knew on each page.

We will continue reading everyday! Practice makes perfect!

Our First Science Experiment---Rainbow Milk!

The first few weeks of school we set up our Science Notebooks, learned about what Scientists do, and what we will do as Kindergarten Scientists. A big part of this launching unit is learning how to observe changes. We learned how to draw like a scientist. In table groups, students added drops of food coloring around the edge of a milk-filled plate. The next Scientist dipped a Q-tip into dish soap and then pressed the Q-tip into the center of the plate. The colors began to swirl and move around the plate! Together they observed the changes that took place and drew what they saw.

Hooray for Grandparents Day!
