Birthday Posters and Labeling

This week Sebastian celebrated his birthday in school. His mom dropped off his birthday poster and it was a big hit in the class. Families are welcome to participate in this optional birthday poster project. Information was given out during our kindergarten orientation.  In class the student shares the birthday poster then we sing to the birthday student, and give them a birthday crown, a bookmark, a certificate and a Pete the Cat book.

We started thinking about labeling and why it is important. We played a game with environmental text- MacDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Market Basket, Toys R Us, Showcase Cinema and Simonds Park to name a few. The students were able to identify these places just by seeing the sign or label! Then we had a discussion about why it is important to label things. We came up with many reasons, to know where we need to go, to recognize where we are, etc. The students had fun with this game. We then move on to labeling a classmate. Students all took turns taking a label and placing it on our birthday boy volunteer. The next thing we did was label important things in our classroom. When you are in Room 101 be sure to check out all our labels. Next week we will be labeling the creepy crawly animals that will be visiting our classroom from the Science Center.
