* We Learn About Cones !

We learned how to make a cone! A cone starts with a circle. It is a 3D shape. Cones can be attached to lots of things: ice cream cones, rockets, pencils, hats, unicorns, rhinos. We cut out a cone and glued it together. We drew pictures of cones. We wrote about our drawings in our journal. It was a great fun learning about cones in math. We hope you enjoy our slide show. Be sure to look for more cones in your environment.

* Segmenting Words: Word Work!

We do Word Work every day! Here we are using our Segmenting Mats. This is how we use the mats to learn to read and write:

(LOL... These are the words as they were told to me by the children!)

1. Get a mat-- it doesn't matter which one because they are all the same!

2. Get a "rasable" marker... we can pick our favorite color!

3. Get a CLEAN tissue - to erase the marker

4. Get some 2-color chips... mostly we need 3!

5. Choose a picture card.

6. Say the picture word very slowly (like a turtle) so you can hear the letter sounds but don't talk too loud cause other people's heads can't think.

7. Put a color chip on the mat. For each letter sound you hear. If you don't put the chip on then our teacher will remind you because this is VERY important!

8. Take your marker and put it in your hand. And take the lid off. And put it on the bottom so you won't lose it. And don't write on yourself.

9. Write a letter for the first chip because that's what you do.

10. Keep writing the sounds you hear until you have a letter that goes under each by chip. You have to keep making the sound so you won't forget what you are doing.

11. And now you look at the marker letters on the mat that you made and you read the sounds. And see if the sounds made the word you wanted.

12.If you made a word you did good. Then you give yourself a cheer because you did a good job.

13. And this is important... use a clean tissue to wipe off the word so you can write a new word. You can't use the same tissue that your nose used.

14. Keep writing and "rasing" and

picking picture cards until the teacher says it is time to clean up.

15. Everyone better clean up because it's rude if you don't.

16. Then stand by your chair and wait until your teacher tells you to go to the next center.

We are good at writing words! It takes a lot of "segmenting!" Try it next time you have to spell a word.

That's good advice from us kids!

* Healthy Teeth

We MUST learn to brush our teeth. Many of our kindergarten friends are coming to school without brushing their teeth. Please take a few minutes two times a day to brush your teeth... your friends, AND YOUR TEACHERS will thank you for it! Get yourself a healthy smile.

You have to take care of your teeth or you won't have any teeth when you are older, and you won't be able to chew your food.


This boy has lost a tooth, but that is okay because it is a baby tooth. He will get another tooth, an adult tooth in its place. He needs to take care of his teeth now so his adult teeth will grow in strong and healthy.

These boys don't have any front teeth. They lost their baby teeth, but they didn't take care of their teeth. When their adult teeth grew in, they were not healthy so they rotted out. Their teeth are not healthy and they are in pain many times during the day.
