Forrest Elementary Kindergarten
About Our Class
Our class consists of 8 boys and 11 girls for a total of 19 super students! Students take part in music, gym and computer. The Grade 8's are our Reading Buddies and we enjoy having them read to us beginning in October on Day 6. We get to sign out books from the library on Day 2. Our computer buddies are the Grade 6's and we will be in the lab on Day 6. Kindergarten is on Days 2, 4 and 6 of the school day cycle and it is a full day. Class begins at 8:55 am and ends at 3:20 pm.
Our mornings are filled with fun alphabet and pre-reading activities, songs, morning message, calendar and stories. We are learning our letter sounds with a program called Jolly Phonics. We learn a new letter sound each day along with a song and an action to go with it. We have many different themes that center around Social Studies, Health and Science.
In the afternoons we do sharing, math activities and the children participate in activity time. This is a time where they can explore various centers (math, dramatic play, storywriting, sand table, crafts) at their own pace while developing social skills as they interact with their classmates. During this time small groups work with the teacher on skills that need to be strengthened.
We are always busy learning about something new and exciting!
