This Week in Kindergarten… | Mrs. Baker's Class

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES…Thank you so much for taking time and coming to meet with me about your sweet Kinder! I enjoyed talking with all of you and getting to share the progress your Kinder has made!

POPCORN WORDS: were, where, there

READING: During reading this week, we worked on retelling stories using a story map. We talked about the characters, setting and retelling the events in order. We also practiced activating our SOUND POWER! We learned and practiced…

Look at the Picture

Say the first sound

Move your eyes to the end

And read what you found

WRITING: In writing this week, we started learning about non-fiction writing. We read all about chickens, discussed what chickens have, what chickens need and what chickens are. We then transferred what we learned into a non-fiction book. We wrote words, added pictures and labels. I hope you enjoyed reading all about chickens when your Kinder brought their book home this week!

MATH: During math this week, we practiced finding partners of 10. We continued learning about Tiny Tumblers. We practiced our addition and subtraction skills as well as learning about 3D shapes. What a great job the Kinders are doing during our math time!

LITERACY: This week during our literacy time we worked on…digraphs, syllables, writing our letters neatly and reading a shamrock book that we have in our blue book boxes to practice during reading time.

WEDNESDAY READING FUN: This week we read the book Diary of a Worm and had a yummy snack to go along with it! The Kinders are having so much fun with the books and fun treats (and so am I)!

MYSTERY READERS: This week we had many mystery readers surprise us and come to read to our class!

Claire’s sister Ava surprised her and read us a book this week!

Kylee’s sister Addison surprised her when she came to read to us!

Evelynne’s mom surprised her when she came to read to us!

Kylee’s brother Grant surprised Kylee when he cam to read to our class!

Haddie was super excited when her mom came to be our mystery reader this week!

Kylee was very excited when her mom came to be a mystery reader this week!

READING CELEBRATION BREAKFAST: On Friday, we had such a great time celebrating reading!! We had leprechaun hats and gold coins on our desks when we got to school and had lots of fun all day! It was fun to celebrate some of the books we’ve read this month by having a celebration breakfast! We had many visitors that joined in our fun and many volunteers who donated things to make our breakfast a success! We even got to learn a fun new math game, finding partners when adding numbers. Charles’ mom brought it for our class and Charles taught us how to play.

OUTSIDE WALK ON A RAINY DAY…this week we got outside in between rain showers and took a walk, ran around the flag pole, climbed under the bike rack and of course stopped for a class picture!
