We had an exciting week in Kindergarten! Everyone returned to school with stories to tell about their vacation.
Writing Workshop - Good Writers revise and "fancy-up" their writing for publication. Each student chose a Small Moment story to revise and share with the class.
Reading Workshop - Good Readers use all they know while reading independently, with a buddy and with a small group! This week, we focused on retelling stories in detail.
Math - We have been working on measurement! At the beginning of the week, students used manipulatives - cubes, links, paper clips, and blocks, to measure items around the room. Then, each student made an inch worm ruler and began measuring items using their ruler.
Word Study - Each student started working with a new sort during word study centers. We also learned some new games!
Sight Words - New sight words were added to each student's sight word ring throughout the week. A list of personal sight words was also sent home.
Social Studies - We discussed the importance of animals and people having a shelter/home. We talked about the characteristics of shelters and homes, and the steps that are taken to create a safe home.
REMINDERS:
- Please send two snacks to school with your child.
- Dress warmly in preparation for outdoor recess - winter coats, gloves, hat.
