Group Meeting: The question for today was "Have you ever ridden in a bus?" This went along with the story for today.
Story: The story for today was Don't Let Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems. The story starts with a bus driver asking the reader to watch his bus for a few minutes. He warns us to not let the pigeon drive the bus. As soon as he leaves, the pigeon shows up. He asks the reader to let him drive the bus. He begs and pleads and has many reasons as to why he should get to drive the bus. Ask your child to tell you if pigeon gets to drive the bus.
Small Groups: We are starting to look at a few sight words. You may have noticed a paper in your child's bag yesterday. We looked at the word "I". Today's word was like. Your child may be able to "read" this paper to you. If they do, they can color in a star at the bottom of the paper. I do not expect your child to know sight words at the end of the year. Kindergarten does not require your child to know sight words to start. These papers are a fun way to help children understand what reading is all about.
Large Group: After the story, we lined up chairs and pretended that we were going to the zoo on a bus. The children had to have a ticket to enter. Such simple fun!
Snack: The snack for today was cinnamon applesauce, milk and water.
