We are so excited that Hayes Elementary is one school again. We are one big, happy family. Our administrators are Mrs. Teressa Watson (principal), Ms. Chris Michael (assistant principal) and Mrs. Angela Whitehead (assistant principal).
We are having such fun getting to know each other in Kindergarten. We have been learning about school & classroom rules and have been excitedly making new friends.
We've been exploring letters and their sounds. We are enjoying singing songs about the alphabet. The Daily 5 is one of our favorite parts of the day. We are learning to build stamina for reading (Read to Self) and writing (Work on Writing). We are writing letters and words to label our pictures as well as sentences about events.
Our little mathematicians have been counting...and counting...and counting. They are counting quantities to match numbers. Our Number Talks are helping us look at the way we see numbers. The purpose of Number Talks is to get students to think about numbers…not in the addition or subtraction sense…but it the ability to take numbers apart, to know what “five” or “six” or “ten” is.
It has been a busy beginning of the school year...and we're just getting started!
