Monday

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.
