One Day in Kindergarten
Each day in Kindergarten we gather for our morning meeting which includes reviewing the days of the week, months of the year, how many days we have been in school, a daily estimation problem, a pattern, the weather, and a daily math problem. We work one on one with the teacher or in small groups to complete our Math, Science, Religion, and Reading daily work. We have centers in our room; writing, art, books, and kitchen. We listen to stories, make some great masterpieces in Art, practice our Fundation cards and always have fun adventures!
