Week 1 Kindergarten

The children did an awesome job in this class. For Language Arts we discussed great words 1: "Bed in Summer". We talked a little about what a poet does. We also wrote the letter A and practiced the sound. In History we talked about Christopher Columbus. He landed in America and I showed them where America is located on the map and also showed them all the different states focusing on Virginia. We also went over the 3 ships that sailed the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. They made ships out of play-do. Mrs. Spiering directed us in music ( thankfully) and the song was beautiful, Maiden Mother, Meek and Mild. Geography coincided with History and again we went over North America also known as the United States and USA. Just to get them familiar with the different names. Math we did multiples of 1. They had a number page where they practiced writing the number 1 and I had them count off 1 by 1 in the class several times. In Religion we discussed the very important role of Peter and why God gave him the keys. They had a coloring page of St. Peter and I read them a short story about St. Peter. In Science we are discussing insects related to the alphabet so this week we talked about ants. They learned that ants can hear, taste, smell and feel with their antenna's. Great class, can't wait till next week!
