A Day in Kindergarten
![Page 5: Welcome to Leila G. Davis Elementary School!. Our Administrators Mrs. Kim Hill, Principal Mr. William Durst, Assistant Principal.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649c9d5503460f9495cd92/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Good Morning!The children arrive at school
by bus, van, car, or by walking, and get themselves
ready for the day.
Allowing children to do things by themselves
fosters independence and gives them a sense of pride.
![Page 6: Welcome to Leila G. Davis Elementary School!. Our Administrators Mrs. Kim Hill, Principal Mr. William Durst, Assistant Principal.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649c9d5503460f9495cd92/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Daily jobs such as signing in and answering the
question of the day foster responsibility
and create a sense of community.
Morning Routine
Having a consistent arrival-time routine helps
the children transition from home to classroom.

Morning MeetingWe start each day with a personal greeting for
every student. We then watch the WLGD morning news and recite our classroom rules. This is also a
time to review the schedule for the day and talk about what we will be learning that day.

Shared Reading
During shared reading, the teacher and children read big books and poems.
![Page 10: Welcome to Leila G. Davis Elementary School!. Our Administrators Mrs. Kim Hill, Principal Mr. William Durst, Assistant Principal.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649c9d5503460f9495cd92/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
During guided reading, teachers work with students to guide
them in using their emerging reading
strategies. By using books that gradually increase in difficulty,
students work at their own levels and feel very successful! The
end goal is for students to become confident, proficient readers who LOVE to
read!
Guided Reading

Interactive Writing
This is a time where we share the marker, tap out sounds, and write important labels to use in
the classroom.

Word Work & Literacy Centers provides meaningful reading and writing experiences as students
work to apply skills and strategies learned during shared
and guided reading lessons.
Word Work & Literacy Centers
Typical word work/literacy center activities
may include ABC practice, word building, writing, listening center,
computer center, and reading around the room.

Multi-sensory activities promote phonics,
phonemic awareness and handwriting skills.
Read A-LoudsStudents experience the joy in being able to listen to a story and then talk about what they have heard and learned. Active engagement in Read Alouds is
paramount to listening comprehension and vocabulary
development.

Writing WorkshopChildren have a lot to say about the world and they can express themselves on paper through inventive spelling
and drawing.
Writing Workshop builds on the children’s strengths, provides
meaningful, structured opportunities to write, exposes them to beautiful literature and actively teaches the skills and strategies that writers need.

Lunch
Kindergartners eat lunch in the cafeteria. Some students buy lunch, while others bring it from home. Lunchtime is a great opportunity for students to talk
and build social skills.
![Page 16: Welcome to Leila G. Davis Elementary School!. Our Administrators Mrs. Kim Hill, Principal Mr. William Durst, Assistant Principal.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649c9d5503460f9495cd92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Recess
Children learn important social skills on the playground. Recess
helps to develop skills such as cooperating, helping, sharing,
and problem solving.

MathKindergartners
participate in whole-group and small group
math lessons daily.
The children do many hands-on activities involving counting,
numeration, measurement, geometry,
sorting, adding, subtracting and data
collection.

Science, Social Studies & Health Education
Kindergartners explore and discover the things and people around them and make connections between their own personal lives and the larger world around
them. In Science, our lessons focus on Physical Science, Earth Science, and Life Science. Our Social Studies
curriculum includes: seasons, All about Me, families, and important people, dates, and holidays throughout the
year. In Health, we learn about healthy behaviors, safety, and recognize that there are body parts inside
and outside of the body.
