Friday and Pancakes...delicious

What a great way to end the week...PANCAKES! We brainstormed all the ingredients and I drew pictures of the the things we needed and then the kinders helped me spell the words.  We worked on first and last sounds in the words. I was amazed at how well the kinders did at listening for those sounds.  Try a word game at home with your child and see how they do.  So ask them the first sound they hear in CAT and then say the word and then ask for the last sound in CAT...you may have to really dramatize the sound but every little effort helps. 

In math we are still looking at numbers.  Dice are a great tool as are dominoes.  Play as many games as you can with these items and you will see a drastic difference in your child's knowledge of numbers and patterns. 

Have a great weekend and remember our shark inquiry is starting and today we braistormed questions we wanted answered.  You gotta love Kindergarten. :)
