The Words of Kindergarten


Word fun with Tagxedo!

 
I would like to introduce you to Tagxedo. This website can help you turn words into art! I have been brainstorming all day of the various ways that this will be helpful in our classroom.  These are just a few that I am so excited about:
 
  • New Vocabulary-What a new and exciting way to introduce new vocabulary words. I will be able to take the new words that we will be learning and introduce them in a picture!
  • Descriptive Words-When we are working with words that describe an object, we will be able to make a picture of the objects with the words that describe it!
  • Sight Words-What better way to show the sight words that we know! After each child has finished a set of sight words, they will be able to create a picture with those words to showcase what they know!
 
I hope that you are able to use this resource at home with your child as well. Exciting things are happening in kindergarten, it's my happy place!

Sing Along!

Songs are a great way for your children to learn a new concept. We will use lots of songs throughout the school year to help us remember various skills. Morning Meeting is a time every day that we will come together as a class. We will work on learning the days of the week, the months of the year, the seasons, and weather. Please watch this video below with your child. This is the song that we use to learn the days of the week. Now you will be able to sing it with your child at home!
