On Monday we had Mystery Monday we had to figure out what was in the Bubble Bag!
Lots of kids in KC thought it had to be a rock! See if you can guess, what do you think is in the bubble bag? If you need to, let your child give you another clue. The clues are words that describe what is inside the bag.
We also learned about writing workshop. Everyone started a writing story. Mrs. Clancy shared a story
about her cat pumpkin(from childhood). We learned about the different ways to write in kindergarten.
The chart below helps us remember the different ways to write in kindergarten.
What is your story about? Tuesday The morning message on Tuesday had a survey question
Would you rather fly or become invisible?
We read the book Which Would You Rather Be? We record our answers in our class Learning Journal before dismissal. Do you remember the results?Did more kids want to fly or be invisible?
Mrs. Clancy writes a morning message each day. Tell someone in your family what Mrs. Clancy writes about?

Mrs. Clancy brainstormed different things about herself on a Circle Map. She put her name in the middle and drew pictures in the circle. We made individual Circle Maps about ourselves! What is something you put on your Circle Map?
