Our first week with classroom buddies

This past week we welcomed both Ms.K and Mr.C's sixth grade classes into our room for our first meeting of classroom buddies. With each visit the students shared books together and got to knw each other.
We also learned counting strategies this week that will help the students be successful counters all year along. They include: line the counters up, touch each counter, say a number as you touch, and the very important double check!
The students are becoming experts at kindergarten rules and routines. This coming Monday focus will be on how to be helpful when a guest teacher is in the room. I will be relying on the students to help a guest teacher on Tuesday while I work in the hallway with students to complete reading assessments.
