Good Afternoon!

Our kindergarten sign in focused on verbs today, specifically action verbs! We read three sentences and each sentence was missing a verb. Using their prior knowledge of different body actions as well as context clues in the sentence, children were able to write their own action verb into the sentence. One of the sentences read: Can you ____________ like a bunny?

This lead children to answer in a few ways. Two children wrote ‘jump’ and another child wrote ‘hop’.

K.W.6.1b: Verbs- Writing sentences that include verbs.

Our older children are loving board games and today, Jenga took over the circle table. Board games such as Jenga teach children many things including playing cooperatively. We often hear children cheering each other on or giving a vote to confidence as a peer takes their turn. Jenga specifically requires patience and trial and error skills. It challenged us this morning!
