SWIMMING WEEK!!

The Buckaroo’s News

Swimming

The kids had an amazing time this week at the Targhee Mountain Resort where they learned about the local animals as well as the local landscape with the Targhee Naturalist! They also learned new skills in the water with their swim coaches (chicken, airplane, soldier)! And last but not least, they got to learn new team building games!

Our Classroom

The kids have been learning many different songs!
-Days of the Week (to the tune of the Adam's Family)
- Months of the Year (hand gestures like the Macarena)
-Who Let the Letters Out by Dr. Jean

 Reading

We have been learning 3 different ways to read a book. 
1.Picture Walk
2. Retell a story they already know
3. Read the Words
If you are looking for a way to read with your child. Have them Picture Walk the book with you!

 Writing

The kids have been telling their stories by drawing pictures and adding detail. Their work is kept in their Writer's Workshop folders. They have also been sharing their stories with their classmates during sharing time!

Math

We had a week off of math this week because of swimming, but will be starting fresh with patterns and coin comparisons.

Science

The kids will be starting their first science unit on fabric. They will be looking at and using fabric for all different things!

We are just wrapping up our first month of school! Congratulations to all the Kindergartners!
