Hi Parents-
Hope everyone enjoyed the 3 day weekend! We had a wonderful week in kindergarten last week!
Our counselor, Mrs. O'Brien, had a guidance lesson with our class. She will be discussing problem solving skills. We discussed the difference between a big problem and a little problem for our first lesson.
We had our first day of library on Thursday. The kids were so great that we earned the Golden Award for library leadership at our Friday assembly! We get to keep the Golden Award in our class all week! The books they checked out came home in Ziplock bags, and we ask for them to be in the bags when they are in their backpack. Their books are due back on Thursday.
We continued establishing routines and procedures, and discussed how to work in partners. We had our iPad use lesson, and discussed the rules/expectations when using an iPad. We began our first iPad project, and they did a great job! I'll share it when it's complete!
