This morning we watched Mrs. Paulson's class put on a play. The kindergarteners were a great audience and earned a popcorn point toward their next party. Students used mini whiteboards to practice handwriting. It seems that we have lots of students forming their letters incorrectly. I am adding a link to a D'Nealian handwriting website so that you can see the method taught at school. http://www.henry.k12.ga.us/pges/ingram/Information/dnealian.gif

In math, students used plastic counters to practice adding and taking away numbers. We learned the "take away" or "minus" sign. Students were shown how to use a calculator and each student got to use a calculator to practice adding and subtracting numbers.
