This Week in Kindergarten…

POPCORN WORDS: is, his, this

READING: This week during reading, we practiced sounding like a teacher when we read. We also practiced telling familiar stories and making sure our words match what is in the picture. One of the stories we had fun practicing this with is the story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The Kinders are doing a good job with remembering what the story is about and making their words match the pictures in the story!

MATH: During math this week, we learned about shapes and followed directions by coloring the shapes certain colors. We also compared numbers with blocks, practiced counting objects of a certain number and worked on writing the numbers 1, 2 and 3.

 

WRITING: This week during writing, we practiced writing three page stories. Together, we wrote about our free choice time. We chose three things we like to do during our play time – build with Legos, play in the house area, build with blocks. We drew pictures, added labels and even added a sentence. Then we wrote a story about three things we like to do on the playground – the swings, the field and the monkey bars. I am so proud of how hard the Kinders are working on becoming writers. They click their writing pens and are ready to write!

LITERACY: During our literacy time this week, we continued learning about the letters Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr. The Kinders were broke up into 2 groups and worked on different skills in both groups. In one group they worked on letter identification and letter sounds and in the other group they worked on rhyming words. The Kinders learned about letters through a fun game named CRASH! and going on a letter hunt. We had fun reading Llama Llama books this week, listening for rhyming words in the stories and making up more rhyming words.
