We have been so busy in Kehn's Kinder!
Last week we learned about comparing characters. I read one of my favorite books, Miss Nelson is Missing! I think the students loved it as much as I do!
We compared the characters by using a venn diagram. The students understood similarities and differences between the teachers in the story. Afterwards, we made our very own Miss Nelson and Miss Swamp. Check out our bulletin board if you visit school. We've gotten so many compliments.

Counting
We wrapped up our math unit on counting. During this unit, we focused on counting objects 1-10 and counting 1-20 aloud. A few things I noticed after the assessment:
Below you will see pictures of the students building "towers" 1-10.
- students still need practice counting fluently
- students need to practice counting on from a given number

Tie Dye T-shirts!
Letter Tt was the letter of the week. To wrap up the lesson, we tie dyed t-shirts! It was so much fun. Thank you for all the extra t-shirts you sent in. We needed quite a few of them. I'm so happy every student was able to participate. The students thought it was so cool. It was really nice to watch them explore with the colors!
Class Dojo
We have begun using a new classroom management tool called Class Dojo! Click here for a video introduction. I have sent out parent emails to invite you to join our class. Ms. Turner and I have been using it for almost 2 weeks and have really noticed the student engagement! As a parent, you can login and see where your child is earning and losing points. It's such a great tool! It might even help out with conversation after the daily question.. "How was your day?"
We have set a daily goal of 10 points per student. We want it to be somewhat challenging to earn 10 points. I encourage you to talk to your child about ClassDojo and let them know that you will be checking their points. I personally think it is a good learning tool because the students are asked to reflect. You can even personalize their avatars- I know they are excited for this!
P.S.- There is an app, too!
