KD's Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day

 I had a stomache today.                                          I had a fight with my sister.

This week we have been exploring the author Judith Viorst.  One story we read was called Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, no Good, Very Bad Day.  The students worked on a response page afterwards where they were asked to write about a bad day, here are a few samples.



I didn't like my breakfast.





I had fish and I didn't feel good.



Time Flies When You Are Having Fun...

It's the little things in Kindergarten that makes my job so worthwhile.  The excitement seen on all 23 faces when they walk into the room and new crayons are on their tables.  Or, a friend is struggling with tying their shoes and someone goes over to help. However, they also do not know how to tie, but just want to lend a  hand.  When we are writing and everything starts to come together and they begin to recognize sounds and different combinations of sounds.  During rest and read two students raise their hand to tell me they are searching for popcorn words.  Or someone trips and falls and instead of laughing another students asks if they are alright and helps them get up.  I can't believe first quarter has already passed, the days are just zooming by. I am looking forward to the upcoming week and having the opportunity to sit and talk to you about your child's progress!  Conference reminders went home yesterday, please let me know if you are unable to attend.
