Specials:
In Reading and Language Arts the kindergarten students have been building from what is known about words to what is new. Rather than rote memorization, the children have been actively exploring and examining word features through games and activities.
In Math, we have manipulated numbers, made up math pattern dances with a partner, and are working through different problem solving strategies for addition and subtraction.
