  What an exciting day! We had the Grand Opening of the classroom library today! Readers got their book boxes, found TONS of great books, and had the opportunity to begin shopping for some good fit books!

• 3:41 Kindergarten Names

  Each day during the first two weeks of school we learned about everyone in our class by studying their names. We looked at their name, noticed special things about the letters in their name, listened as they shared their "All About Me" bag, and practiced writing their name. One other thing we did was help each kindergarten write a name poem about their own name! This name poem incorporated beginning letters and sounds as well as the reading of environmental print. I had a bunch of logos at the bottom of our ActivBoard and the student picked one to read to us and add to his/her poem. They loved showing us all the BIG words they already know how to read! Here is a video of each child reading his/her own name poem.

• 00:39 Literacy Stations

  Here's a quick peek at what literacy stations looked like this morning. We spend 20 minutes each morning doing a variety of different jobs, like the ones you see here. This is a great time for me to work with small groups and for students to get independent time to practice and reinforce important skills.

• 5:03 Responsibilities

  This year, our class will be partnering with a Kindergarten class in the village of Zirobwe, Uganda. We will be broadening our view of the world through getting a glimpse inside the lives of our friends across the globe. We worked together over the past few days to create our first video to send to our friends.
  We incorporated our social studies curriculum into this video by first identifying responsibilities that we have at school. We worked together to brainstorm how we can capture these responsibilities and then shot our videos. Through practicing some of the routines that we are responsible for, we had a great opportunity to further review our routines and procedures in a meaningful way. The majority of this video is student recorded, giving your little ones full ownership! I think this might be a class full of future actors and directors. Come take a look at the things we are responsible for! Stay tuned to see what things our friends in Uganda are responsible for at school. Do you think there will be any similarities?
