Mrs. Buschman came to our class to read her favorite book.
The students loved listening to it, after learning how to play the dreidel game (practicing math skills).
Thank you Mrs. Buschman!

With Dia de los Muertos just around the corner, students have been learning about the famous artist Diego Rivera.
We have been using a biography about him to study characters. Sam Thornham (Dora Moore's famous story teller) came to our class to share a print he has of Diego's work. While telling a story to our class one day, he noticed the book I planned on using. We decided it was a great opportunity to connect a character in a book to something the students could see from Sam.

(Sam and his "ghost" balloon. Ask your student about how the "ghost" was really just science!)

(Same showing the students the print.)
The students learned that Diego loved to paint what he saw, whether it was good or bad. He became a famous artist because he practiced and never gave up, even when people didn't agree with his beliefs.
THANK YOU SAM FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!

Dear Families,
Go Broncos! Hope you have had a nice weekend!
On Wednesday, I will be introducing analog clocks, as well as talking about digital clocks. If your family has a clock or watch, that you don't mind being brought to school- I would love for students to share them. It would be neat for them to see different clocks from different homes. I teach math on Wednesday at 12:15- so if you wanted to bring it in yourself at that time, that would be great too! :) On Thursday, I am teaching telling time to the hour...so you can also bring something in then as well.
On Friday, student will be exploring with straightedges (rulers, or measuring tape) and dominoes. If you have anything your child could bring for that, that would be great as well. Students perform better when instruction is tied directly to their life.
Thank you so much for your support!
Ms. Feinman
We reached level 5 with Freckles! Transitioning between subjects and activities we often do these "brain breaks" for 1-3 minutes. The students love it and it gets the wiggles out!
Now we are working on getting to Level 5 with Squatchy!
Lately, our class has been taking mini brain breaks to help us focus and stay motivated.
We have started using http://www.gonoodle.com
Here are some pictures of us deep breathing:
Here is the homework calendar. I will upload the homework packet on Monday!
Sight words are just one of the building blocks of reading. The highlighted words below are words we have reviewed last week and this week. I expect every student to know how to read and spell these kindergarten words by the middle of October! If you feel like your child needs harder sight words to practice, you can find them here: Dolch Sight Word Lists
Here is an I Spy Game you can play at home with your child:
