Morning Meeting

During our Morning Meeting we welcome the children to school as well as say good morning to each other. A big part of this meeting is doing our calendar. We talk about the day of the week, the month and the year. We also find the next number and look at the pattern that the different shapes are making. So far the children have noticed that the pattern for this month is red apple, red apple, green apple, green apple. The patterns will get more difficult each month. 

We also keep track of how many days we have been in school. This is exciting for the children because we have already talked about how when we get to 100 days we get to have a special celebration! 

At the end of each month the children will be given a blank calendar to fill out using all of the skills they have learned by completing the calendar together each morning! 

  

These are the some of the Kindergarten Standards the children are learning while we complete this task every morning:

K-ESS3-2 Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
