Lots of excitement today in Kindergarten! We connected through Google Hangouts with our Global Read Aloud partner in Frisco Texas. Both schools got to ask and answer questions about their school, the weather, and of course we talked about the two books we’ve both read so far, Dreamers and Just a minute. We discovered that Texas hardly ever gets any snow, and when they do, school is cancelled. Click on the link for Just a minute to hear the story again with your child. A question you might ask is how do you like to celebrate your birthday?
We had our first Number Talk today, where the class was able to say what the number 9 means to them. In the picture you can see just a few of the answers.
We continue to use the language of 3 ways to read :
1.I read the pictures.
2.I read the words.
3.I retell the story.
