Budding Readers

As we've approached midway through the year, the students in room 22 have built up incredible reading stamina! Students not only sustain independent reading for 30 minutes each day, but are also engaged and excited to read. We have been working diligently to use our reading strategies to apply to our books such as: pointing to words, getting our mouthes ready for the beginning sounds of words and blending sounds together to figure out unfamiliar words. Ask your child what they are interested in reading to continue to foster their love for reading! Thank you parents and families for all you do.

Readers are using 1:1 correspondence as they read. Students track the words as they read to attain accuracy by pointing to each individual word as it is spoken. Notice what a great job our readers are doing practicing this skill! 

Students choose relaxing spots in the room to best focus on and enjoy their reading. 

Outstanding Artwork Recognition!

One of our very own room 22 artists was recognized last month for her outstanding artwork! We couldn't be more proud of Serena-Rae! What an exciting achievement. 

Yoga in the Classroom

We are so fortunate, for the second year in a row, to have yoga at Darcey School! Lenny, our yoga instructor, joins us twice a month to incorporate yoga in our kindergarten classes. Yoga allows for the development of self-awareness, which helps students manage their emotions and relationships. Yoga also brings many added benefits for our growing kindergarteners such as confidence building, stress relief and as Lenny focuses much of her sessions on; peace.

Here students are wrapping up our yoga session with bringing peace to ourselves and others. 

Students practice balance.
