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

POPCORN WORDS: about, went, home

READING: This week during reading, we practiced reading non-fiction texts and talking like an expert about the books we read. The Kinders read books with groups and found things they thought were WOW about the books. Then they marked them with a sticky note and shared what was WOW with the class. We also practiced having reading playdates with non-fiction texts. They did a great job sounding like teachers and playing school while reading non-fiction books!

WRITING: During writing this week, we wrote persuasive letters to incoming kindergarteners. We wrote about the problem of kids playing too rough on the playground. We wrote a greeting, reasons why this is a problem, a solution to the problem and then ended with signing a petition saying we will play safe on the playground. The Kinders did a great job writing a letter!

MATH: We started math this week with Dr. Seuss themed math. We had fun with red fish, blue fish…adding the number of red fish and blue fish together and then finding a total. We also practiced our addition and subtraction this week. I’m so proud of how hard they are working on this and how great they are doing! We also practiced doing dot-to-dots with higher numbers and drawing teen numbers. Way to go Kinders!

DR. SEUSS LITERACY FUN: We had a lot doing different Dr. Seuss themed literacy activities this week! We practiced syllables, stretching out words with 3 sounds, and learning about the H brothers. It is fun to learn Dr. Seuss style!

MYSTERY READERS:

Briella was thrilled when her mom walked through the door and surprised her as a mystery reader! Briella was especially excited because it was her birthday! Her mom had fun reading a book to the class! It was fun to have her visit our classroom!

It was fun to have one my students from last year come and read to our class this week! Bella was in my class last year and it was so fun to have her come back to read to us! Bella lives next door to Marisa and they are good friends! Marisa was thrilled to have Bella read to us and Bella did a great job!
