Five months in…….
•
•
Mid way through…….
•
•
The first year trial of full time kindergarten in our division is half over.
•
•
The program is a go for next year and registration is open. ✍️
•
•
My thoughts……
…. I am thrilled. 😊😊
•
•
Appreciating so many things about this new gig. 💗💗
•
•
⏳The time piece alone has been incredible. Feels like we are fitting in all of the of the things.! 🤔🤔
•
•
💙The continuity and consistency of seeing these little people every day has been good for all of us. ☺️
•
•
These first few months have held the hours of a part time program. Sort of feels like we are in bonus time now!!! 😎
•
•
So….Cheers to full time kindergarten. Super excited it is on for another year. 🥂

Blending sounds…. an important foundational skill. 🧨
•
•
🔥It ensures early readers focus on all the sounds in a word not just the first one or two.
•
•
🔥Effective decoding is a result of smooth sound blending.
•
•
🔥Cognitive scientists have shown that accurate decoding is a hallmark of skilled reading.
•
•
🔥This game is packed with opportunities to develop skills.
•
•
Will you try this one?💜💜

💜 May God bless you and your family with joy and love this holiday season.
•
•
Have a wonderful break. 💜
•
•
The challenge….
•
Sort some buttons in an interesting way.
•
The result…..
•
A visual journal page showcasing learning for numeracy and literacy outcomes.
•
•
Visual journals allow learners to return to a page several times to add new pieces.
•
•
Building pages part by part allows quality and workmanship to be priorities.
•
•
•
•
Do you use visual journals in your classroom?
