Kindergartners have been working hard the first part of the year on their alphabet letters, beginning word sounds, sight words, colors, shapes, numbers and etc. While continuing to solidify skills throughout the second half of the year, students have opportunities to practice learning individually and in both small and large group settings. They often ask, 'is it center time yet?'
Fun Fridays have also quickly become a favorite of kindergartners! After a good learning week, students are rewarded with a set amount of time to work on a 100 piece puzzle individually or in small groups (the latter usually being their favorite). This supports learning via exercising logic, sequencing and fine motor skills.
In ELL, we love to make learning fun by giving students hands-on opportunities including arts and crafts. For our MES door decorating contest, Kim Mason, our 1st-5th grade ELL teacher, had her students make giant spiders for Halloween and write a paper about it. Kinders contributed by coloring pumpkins. The students were excited to see the ELL door take 1st prize in the door decorating contest. We couldn't have done it without them!
