Mrs. Griffin's Kindergarten

We had a great week of Kindergarten. The Firemen came to the Alta school and showed the kids what a Firefighter looks like with all of his gear on. Chip also volunteered to put all of the gear on to show the kids that there is a person underneath all of the protective gear.

Reading- The kids learned about the setting of a story this week. We will be working more on setting, character and connecting a story to our own lives for the rest of this week as well.

    We are also learning the Sight Words: I, am, little, a. These are words that you can practice with your kids at home. We are also learning to recognize all of the letters in the alphabet as well as learning the sounds of the letters.

Writing: We had our first Author's sharing and the kids got to share with their 'best word' from their Writer's folders. This week we are going to be creating different kinds of lists and work on 'hearing a sound and writing it down' with labeling our stories.

Science- We are still learning about fabric and how we use it in our lives. Look forward to seeing some neat things the kids will be learning.
