Fancy Nancy is....

We have been studying characters and their traits. We read Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy and thought about words we could use to describe Nancy. Tomorrow, we will read about Pinkalicious who is another character in a different story. We will describe her character traits just as we did with Fancy Nancy. Later on this week, we will use a venn diagram to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious!

IIM Duck Project Presentations

Our fall IIM unit was on ducks. We read many books about ducks and learned many facts about ducks. All of the children worked hard with their parents to work on a duck project to share with their classmates and Mrs.Scafidi's class. Even our principal Mrs. Nussbaum came to our class to see all the wonderful projects! She was very impressed with our vast knowledge about ducks. Tomorrow is the very last day the projects will be collected!

Bossy e

We have been learning about long vowels! We learned that when there is a letter e at the end of a short vowel word, it changes the word! We call silent e our bossy e because bossy e tells the vowel to say their names!

Storytelling in Kindergarten

Ms.Julia will be joining our class every Thursday to tell stories interactively. According to Ms.Julia, all we need to tell stories are our bodies, our voices, and our imaginations.

Kings and Queens of ings

We didn't get to go to the farm because of bus issues but we did something equally fun! We made crowns!! We are kings and queens of words with -ing. We thought of many words with the chunk -ing and wrote them on our crowns. Don't we look dash-ing?
