In writing students are working on stories about things that have happened to them.  We talked about the fact that story books and information books are similar in that they both have pictures and words, and we will be adding details and sounding out words.  But they are different in that story books have characters that do things and speak. We are also focusing on the fact that stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

In Music, Kindergarteners now know how to read, play and compose with quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rests! And this week, they accomplished a musical task that’s hard for many adults – while half of the class marched a steady beat, the other half of the class performed the rhythms of our music rules rap at the same time. Congratulations, Kindergarteners! They have also been learning about call and response, projecting their voices and using their creativity in our special name game.

Shabbat Shalom,
