This Week in Kindergarten...

Fire Safety:

We had a visit from the Georgetown Fire Department this week.  They taught us so many things about fire safety!  Some things that we learned include how to stop/drop/roll, how to call 911, and the importance of having a fire escape plan.  We even had a fire drill at school this week!  















Writing Workshop: 

In Writing Workshop, we continue to draw and write stories together on whiteboards. The pictures below show us drawing and writing about fire safety.




Reading Workshop: 

In Reading Workshop, we continue to spend time "reading" the picture books from our book bins in our own quiet reading spots.  This week we also made booklets that we can color and read.  Here are some photos of students taking turns reading our "A Fireman" booklet to a partner.











Math: 


In Math this week, we focused on writing numbers 1-5 in our math workbooks.  We also worked on counting and drawing objects for numbers 1-5.
