Review and Our celebration with Jim Gill

We ended our week with a concert from Jim Gill. We were all up dancing and singing. He put on quite a performance with the help of the kindergartners. Take a look at some of the pictures below.

Reading 
This week in reading we read the book Fluffy the Porcupine. This book was very silly as Fluffy the porcupine is trying to be more "fluffy." He tries many unsuccessful ways of softening his appearance until he meets a rhino named Hippo. Hippo and Fluffy become best friends!

Our poem this week was about Tadpoles. 

Math

In math we have continued practicing adding and subtracting within 5. We also challenged ourselves during center time to add and subtract within 10.  Many of us are becoming fluent with our math facts. Thank you for continuing to practice these at home. In our math centers we also practiced missing number. This was a skill we worked on a long time ago however many of us were showing signs of "forgetfulness." We made it fun with a golf themed center!
