POPCORN WORDS: bad, had, map
READING: This week during reading, we learned about sounding out blends in words. We looked at letters that blend together and practiced reading words that begin with blends. The Kindergartners are developing this skill as their reading level grows. We also recalled as readers we always start our reading with looking at the first letter in a word and that really helps us start our thinking of what the word might be.
MATH: In math this week, we practiced writing our number 1-20. We also “shopped” at our “grocery store” for items from the store. We practiced adding and subtracting numbers and writing our equations. We have been working hard on showing teen numbers in math, showing a 10 and some extra ones.
WRITING: This week during writing, we continued writing our small moment stories. The steps we practice are thinking of an idea, telling the steps, drawing and labeling the pictures, adding words to our story using the words first, next and last. The Kinders are doing more and more writing on their own! I’m so proud of them!
LITERACY: During our literacy time this week, Kinders got to choose the stations they wanted to do on their own! It was fun to see which stations they enjoyed doing the most. They were also able to work with teachers during literacy time on skills they needed to practice.
MYSTERY READER: RJ was super excited when his mom walked through the door this week and was our mystery reader! RJ and the rest of the class enjoyed listening to the story, The Boy Who Grew Flowers. It was fun to have her visit our classroom!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS!! We had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss on Friday! We had a full day of all things Dr. Seuss. Our fourth grade buddies came to our room and read us Dr. Seuss books, we took pictures with Dr. Seuss photo props, had Dr. Seuss snacks and did Dr. Seuss activities. It was a fun-filled Dr. Seuss day!! The Kinders looked adorable in all of their Seuss-style stuff!
