During math we worked on matching and practicing how to take turns. We also played memory; therefore, we can now add this game to our math/game center. We also earned some time to go outside to play. Last week was beautiful! We had to take advantage. The children are doing a great job!<br />

You can sign up for "Remind" which will send a safe text message to you. I will not be able to see your phone number and you will not be able to see my number. This is just an easy way to get up to date information when I want to remind you of something.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">You just have to text: @joestahl to the number 81010</span></b></div>

(please note that standard text messaging rates apply depending on your phones plan)</div>

I cannot wait to see you all at open house (August 17 from 6-8)! We had a great kindergarten camp last week!<br />
<br />
Just a little information about me! I have been teaching for 13 years and the majority of it has been spent in kindergarten. I am married and have two wonderful daughters! We had a fantastic summer of hanging out, going to the zoo, and also swimming! Here are a few pics from the summer! I cannot wait to hear all about your adventures. <br />

It has been crazy here in kindergarten with assessments for 3rd quarter and then working through 4th quarter. We are preparing for our graduation at the end of the month! It should be a blast.<br />
<br />
Here are few pictures of things that have been going on! I am amazed by the learning that has occurred!<br />

We have had a lot of fun in our centers these past few weeks. We have created books, played word games, math games, and explored music. I know call me crazy for letting the kids play instruments in class, but it was fantastic to see them work as groups and create "songs" together. After watching them I think this was by far one of their favorite centers this year! </div>

The children loved having a guest come in and read a story to them...I think they were very excited that it was someone different than me for once :) I am looking forward to having a lot more mystery readers coming in over the next few weeks. If you are interested please let me know. You can email or call the school and leave me a message 943-6929. I will get back with you as soon as I can to set up a time.<br />

<br />
We also read "Zin, Zin, Zin a Violin" this past week and learned about sound. We also completed an art project with making a violin using tissue paper and water. The children loved this project. Monday will be the culmination of our sound theme with using various instruments to create our own orchestra! It should be a lot of fun!<br />

We have Spring pictures and class pictures on Tuesday. Your child should have brought home a form last week. These are my favorite pictures because it gives me a great memory of both classes. It also saddens me when this time comes around because I know the end of school is coming closer.Joe Stahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10304337437960442204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862385457945740960.post-43453177762922939682015-02-28T18:19:00.000-05:002015-03-01T19:04:39.364-05:00Penguins...We had a great day last Wednesday when the Cincinnati Zoo came to visit and help us learn about penguins. We read "If You Could Go to Antarctica" and learned about the weather, animal life, and other cool facts. One of the animals which live in Antarctica are penguins and the zoo helped us learn penguins live in the southern hemisphere. We also fixed a misconception that polar bears live in Antarctica. This coming week we will work on our informational reports regarding penguins!<br />

I am impressed by their ability to blend words. The children should still work on this concept to help build their fluency. Our goal is to have children reading simply words like the way we, as adults, read them. Simple words are CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant...dog, cup, mat, log, etc).<br />

This week we are reading "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and discussing character! On Monday we took pictures from the story and discussed them with our friends about what we think the picture is showing us. We were discussing new vocabulary from the book. We learned about porridge, cottage, and clambered. The children loved talking with their friends about what they thought the picture was showing us. We will continue to read other versions of Goldilocks and will compare and contrast the story!</div>

The children have been working on their keyboarding skills and also working on segmenting words (hearing the sounds in the words). This is an excellent way to practice at home. You just have to enlarge the font size in word and have your child type a word you give them. You can even practice their sight words. It is exciting if you an your child search for a picture for the word or have them print it off and draw a picture!<br />

On the back of your child's center ticket you can check to see what center they completed and ask them questions about what they did!<br />

This week
is the last week of the 2nd quarter...this means that half of
kindergarten is over (I cannot believe it is going this fast). We have
been assessing last week and will continue this week.
The biggest area I am noticing is sight words. The words in yellow are the words your child should know.
If you find your child does not know these
words, please work with your child. Next week, you will receive a copy
of how your child did on their sight words.</div>

This week, we will be continuing on with subtraction. We will be
playing subtraction bowling and I am in need of tennis balls. If you
have any tennis balls to spare and could send one or two in for our use
that would be wonderful. The children are doing
a GREAT job with subtraction. The only area I am noticing is sometimes
children get subtraction and addition signs confused. This would be
something you can work on at home. You can make different story
problems up using addition and subtraction and have
your child figure it out. Snack and meal times work great for this
activity. In addition, if your child likes to help cook, this would be a
great time to work on this skill as well.<br />

This week we have been working with "Pete the Cat" and learning about subtraction. We enjoyed reading "Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons!" We also used our Math Boards to create number sentences to solve problems.<br />
<br />
I am impressed with how the children are doing with subtraction. In addition, please continue to review both subtraction and addition. I did notice a few children getting the two confused. We will still be working on this skill next week!Joe Stahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10304337437960442204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862385457945740960.post-81777232711126290312015-01-04T19:43:00.001-05:002015-01-04T19:43:54.860-05:00Welcome 2015...This week we will be ending up the 2nd quarter. I will be checking the students on their sight words, alphabet, and sounds. I will be also checking students' addition, greater/less than, and number writing.<br />
<br />
Even though we will be assessing we will also be learning about how animals change. We will look at how animals are similar and different to their parents. We will work on sequencing as our comprehension strategy. In math, we will begin the next chapter in math...subtraction. I am excited because we will work with "Pete the Cat" to help us with our subtraction. I will do some updates later this week!Joe Stahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10304337437960442204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862385457945740960.post-75365055804321771512014-12-25T13:58:00.001-05:002014-12-25T13:58:26.987-05:00Happy Holidays...

<br />
I hope you all are doing well and had a great weekend. We have a lot
going on this week. We have the next round of DIBELS this week. We
will be measuring how your child is doing with letter naming fluency,
phoneme segmentation (this is where we find out if your child can hear
all the sounds in the words like in cat, your child can hear the /c/ /a/
/t/), and nonsense words (basically we are checking your child's
ability in reading sounds of letters). I am confident your child will
do well and we will use this information to determine what your child
needs to work on and needs further instruction. In math, we are
continuing to work on addition and working toward fluency of number
sentences. Please take time to review the math sheets that are brought
home throughout the week and take a couple minutes to talk to your child
about it. One great thing you can do is ask your child to explain to
you what to do on this sheet!<br /><br />In addition, this week we will say
good bye to Ms. Fordyce on Thursday. She will be graduating and earning
her teaching license at the end of the month. I have been impressed
with her this semester and loved watching her work with your children.
She had some great lessons we planned together. I know the children
will miss her, but I have told her to come back and visit. I am also
trying to have her come back and be our guest teacher when and if I am
out of the building.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week. It is hard to believe it is the second week of December!<br />Joe Stahlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10304337437960442204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862385457945740960.post-80437935242354838452014-11-25T15:58:00.001-05:002014-11-25T15:58:22.713-05:00Feast Time for the Afternoon...The afternoon had a great feast! Thank you to everyone who sent in donations. The children had a great time. We are donating the left over food to the local food pantry. Have a great Thanksgiving!<br />

We have a lot of exciting things planned for Monday and Tuesday. On Monday we will be doing some simple review of letters, sounds, and blending words. We will also have some fun by making a pattern place-mat and also be making butter for the feast. On Tuesday, we will be having our feast at 9:30 and 1:15ish. We have been looking forward to this day for awhile.<br />
<br />
I will place some pictures on Tuesday or Wednesday of the event! This week your child will also be bringing home some practice pages to read letters, sounds, and to say the sounds in words!<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />
<br />

possibility of snow tonight into tomorrow. If you are watching the
Bengals game...hopefully they pull out a win! If you have not already
done so, you can sign up for text messages about what is
happening/important information going on in Kindergarten. I have
attached the sheet to the email if you so choose or
<b>you can text @fcd95 to (216)672-5429.<br />
<br />
</b>This week we are continuing our unit on addition. The children are
doing a great understanding addition is putting things together. We are
working on how to write an addition number sentence using the addition
and equal sign. You can work on this at
home by practicing different stories and having your child draw a
picture and write the number sentence. In reading we are concentrating
on our sounds, but more importantly blending those sounds into words.
You can work on this by placing a consonant - vowel
- consonant on a paper and having your child try to figure out the
word. You can also have your child look through various books and see
if they can find words they know. We will also be working on sequencing
stories. We are also beginning to increase our
writing to work on learning to write simple sentences!<br />
<br />
<b>We are working on our feast preparations. Our feast is November 25
at 9:30 and 1:15. We always need volunteers for this event. If you
would like to event, please let me know. In addition, we are asking for
each child to bring in a fruit or vegetable
to share (we cannot have any cherries or anything with peanuts/tree
nuts). If you would like you can always donate gallon and sandwich zip
loc bags. We also need lysol wipes!
