Today, after Center Time and Afternoon Meeting, we had a phonics and reading lesson before gym class. We met a new High Hat friend - today was Noisy Nan (the /n/ sound - she has issues with nutcrackers - ask your child all about it). We also talked about new 'word families' that we can write now that we know the letter 'n' - words that end in -an and words that end in -in.

Then we went down the hall for gym class with Mr. Hill and Mr. Peterson - who were both wearing roller blades, to our surprise. I got to the gym a bit early to pick them up, and ran a couple of laps around the gym with them -- kindergartners are faster than they look, but then you all probably already knew that...

After gym we hustled up to the Media Center for book check-out, and them back down to our class where we had a short math lesson about counting. We practiced counting by 10s, by 5s, by 2s, and backwards from both 20 and 10, all using the hundreds chart.

The day finished up with Choice Time. Then, after all were properly bundled up, we headed to Minneapolis Kids or home.
