Did you know that Mrs. Doiron writes down the name and author of every book read to the students in room 77? (please see https://doironkindergarten.wikispaces.com) On Thursday, March 3rd, students listened to Miss Bindergarten Has a Wild Day in Kindergarten by Joseph Slate. This was the 200th book our class has listened to. Listening to books read aloud is a fun and easy way to introduce children to new vocabulary words. Sometimes students can figure out the new word from the context of the story, other times, we need to stop and explain that new word. If students learn just one new word from each book, they will have learned two hundred new words this year! Mrs. Doiron bought pizza for the children to celebrate, and we ate lunch in the classroom. We even had party music! Both Mrs. Gray (Principal) and Ms. Bartley (Assistant Principal) came to distribute certificates to our students. These photos show some of the students receiving their certificates and shaking hands with Mrs. Gray and Ms. Bartley. You may want to start making a list and counting how many books you read to your kindergartner at home.
