Hello Families,
We have been busy in Kindergarten!
Reader's Workshop - The class has learned to shop for books and keep them inside their book bag. They also know that good readers identify the characters in their books and describe their actions. Recently, we began to make connections within books using the phrase "This remind me of..."
Writer's Workshop - The class is learning to "zoom in" on a small moment and stretch out their story across several pages. Students are also adding more words and labels to their story by stretching out letter sounds.
Math - Students are recognizing and creating patterns! They have completed Halloween themed patterning activities, and have used manipulatives to generate their own patterns. Students have also used magnetic patterning boards to develop their knowledge of patterns.
Science/Social Studies - The class read their new "Let's Find Out" magazine about nocturnal animals. We are continuing to learn about our 5 senses through books, games, and activities.
Word Study Centers - Volunteers began coming into the classroom this week! Thank you for your help. Students are working in their groups to sort words/picture cards and complete other literacy based activities.
Handwriting - Letter Tt.
