We had a wonderful week in Kindergarten! The story that we focused on in reading was, The Rainbow Fish. We talked about being greedy and sharing and how it makes you feel when you share with others.  We have been focusing on identifying the characters and setting in stories. The vocabulary words that were introduced were: shocked, wise, admire, glide and shimmer. Our new popcorn words were: pretty, funny, under, find. The students have been working on "how to" writing during writing time. In math we have been working on addition and subtraction.
