My little stars

The girls really are loving kindergarten and they are both doing so well.  It is such a delight to hear them talk about school with such joy - and I love to hear their stories. 

Audrey's class is a little more loosey goosey.  But with that said, she comes home with a giant stack of work about every two weeks.  And it has the objective that they are learning written on it.  I just can't imagine being a kindergarten teacher!  One thing that they do in her class is an estimation box.  Kids get to bring home the box and count out items to take to school the next day.  Then all of the kids take turns guessing.  I tried to get Audrey to take wine corks this past time...she said 'mom - that would be embarrassing!'  Ha. 

 Here is Audrey working on some sight words - and working on her aim!

Audrey was selected to be the star student for her class for the month of September.  So proud of my little Bear!

Brooke's class is a little more structured - complete with different reading groups and math groups.  And there is lots of repeating back and forth (Whoop, whoop - good job writer Brooke). It is super cute.  Brooke is in the fleur de lis math group.  Math is interesting here.  There is a big emphasis on doing stuff with a ten frame and knowing all of the different number pairs (ex: 5 is 0,5 and 1,4, and 3,2 etc)

Here is Brooke's self portrait showing her five senses.  They have been working on including "quality details."

Brooke was selected as the star student for her class for the month of October.

 Here is Brooke showing off writing her spelling words in a "fun" way.
