Community Helpers

We have been learning about different Community Helpers and Kindergarteners decided which one they would like to be when they grow up.  The pictures they created are amazing!  Each student focused on details like the Community Helpers clothing and tools. Some students even labeled the picture with words!

 This week, our Shared Reading focuses on how Kindergarteners can help each other in different places.  We learned sight word "I" and added it to our word wall.  We are also going to learn the word "at" this week! Ask your Kindergartener what other words we have on our word wall.

It's important to talk about WHY people have jobs.  At school, Kindergarteners have jobs all around the classroom like putting up chairs, fixing the clip chart, turning the schedule pieces and delivering notes to the office.  This week, we decided to earn coins (instead of pom-poms) for our hard work, just like grown ups!  Students add 5 coins to our classroom jar for completing jobs, showing expected behavior, and doing their best! Look how many coins we've earned already! I wonder what we will buy when it's full :)
