Story of the Week: Mayday! Mayday!

Hello Kinder families! Here is our story of the week. We usually read the story 3 times throughout the week. The first time is just a straight read through, then the next two times we read it, we discuss comprehension questions as we read. Before your child listens to the story, have them discuss our question of the week: What kinds of transportation help us in an emergency?

Here are our comprehension questions to discuss as your child listens to the story a second and third time.

1. Why do you think a rescue swimmer needs to have all this equipment?
2. What type of vehicle does the Coast Guard use for the rescue mission?
3. How do the flight mechanic and swimmer prepare as they get on the helicopter?
4. What happens to the yacht during the storm?
5. What do you think the instrument called radar does?
6. Why do you think the people in the yacht send up the flare?
7. What is the swimmer wearing (when he swims out to the yacht) on his face?
8. What will the pilot and the rescuer in the helicopter do after a sailor is in the basket?
9. How are the sailors feeling after they are rescued and as they are strapped into seats on the helicopter?
10. Where does the Jayhawk (helicopter) take the sailors after they rescue them?

Welcome to our St. Joseph Kindergarten blog!

Hello Kindergarten families!

Welcome to our Kindergarten classroom blog! This will be our place for asking and answering questions about assignments, discovering where to find things online and finding a recording of our story of the week.

I will be available here on our classroom blog for questions or help every Monday and Wednesday from 1:00-2:00pm. Once I am online at that time, I will start a blog post titled "Questions with Mrs. Gilboy and the day/date" You can then comment under that post with any questions. If you have questions outside of that time, please post them and I will check back throughout the week and get back to you asap.

I am sending home weekly work packets every Friday. Your child's work can be turned in on Tuesday or Thursday of the following week into the drop off boxes. I know things are very challenging for us all right now. All I ask is that you/your child do the best that you can! We will get through this together! If you ever feel like your child is struggling or feeling overwhelmed with the work, please reassure them that it will be okay and just get done what you can. If there is a specific skill they need help with please let me know and I will be here to support in any way that I can.

Please check in here on our blog on a regular basis for any updates and also for a video recording of our story of the week.


Thank you for all of your support! Virtual hugs to all my kiddos. I miss you all!
Mrs. Gilboy
