Mrs. Joy Rider
Kindergarten
Welcome to Mrs. Rider's Half Day Kindergarten classroom! Our theme this year is "The Jungle". Each day we are on a learning safari to explore new and exciting things!
In reading, we are learning how to combine the sounds of letters to read words! We also are learning how to become good writers. We will start the year reading very simple words and writing labels for pictures that we draw. Before long, we are reading entire books and writing complete sentences!
We also work hard in mathematics. We learn to count by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's. We can read a calendar, and identify coins and shapes. We practice our problem solving skills too, as well as other math skills.
We also have fun in science and social studies. We learn about families, life science, seasons, and communities.
Feel free to stop by our corner of the jungle and visit, or contact me at rider@usd230.org or call 913-592-7178.
