Happy Monday

Dear Mom and Dad:

AM Kindergarten:

We continued to talk about the zones of regulation. Today we talked about the yellow zone. Did you know that it is okay for me to be in the yellow zone but I am learning strategies to move myself from the yellow zone to the green zone. The yellow zone is when I am feeling frustrated. Ask me to tell you what strategies I could use to get out of the yellow zone.

PM Kindergarten:

During math we did an activity called “shake and spill”. I had 5 counter chips, one side is red and one side is yellow. I had to put them in a small cup and shake them and then spill them on the table. Then I used my five frame to show 5 using the colors that spilled out. For example I might have 3 red and 2 yellow which make 5! Ask me to tell you different ways to make 5. You can also ask me how much more I might need to make 5. For example: put out 3 fingers and ask me to show you and tell you how many more fingers I need to get to 5.

Question of the day:  What is your favorite Christmas song that we are practicing?

Love,

Kindergarten
