Kindergarten RULES!

Can you believe it is the weekend already?! Our first two days of Kindergarten flew by!! We spent a lot of time this week learning our rules and practicing our classroom routines. We will continue to focus on our classroom rules, routines, and procedures throughout the school year.


In our classroom, we have five rules:
1. Raise your hand to speak
2. Follow directions quickly
3. Listen when someone is speaking
4. Be a caring friend
5. Always do your best


On Thursday, we read David Gets In Trouble! Throughout this silly book, David makes bad choices like eating dog food, yelling across the table, breaking windows, and our favorite, not wearing pants to school! When David gets in trouble, he always says, 'NO! It's not my fault! I didn't mean to! It was an accident!'" This was the perfect opportunity to discuss good vs. poor choices. Our kinders did a great job deciding what were good choices and which ones were not.


On Friday, we read Mom, It’s My First Day of Kindergarten! We talked about and charted how we felt on the first day of Kindergarten. Here's what your kinder said..

How precious is Leilani's response?!

After charting, we worked on turning our thoughts and feelings into illustrations that we will use to make our first class book. Take a look!
