This Week in Kindergarten…

POPCORN WORDS: have, of, on

READING: This week during reading, we made connections to how the characters in books are feeling.  We looked at their facials expressions, body language and actions to help us learn more about them. We read many different books and noticed how the character were feeling in the books. Some of our favorites were Froggy, Little Critter, Clifford and Elephant and Piggie books. It was fun to share what we noticed about how the characters were feeling! 

WRITING: During writing this week, we revisited small moment stories. We started the week by thinking of a story that is absolutely true and all about you. We told the story to ourselves and then to a friend (what happened first, next and last). We drew a quick sketch of the beginning, the middle and the end on sticky notes. Then we started writing our story! We made a cover page, a beginning, middle and end. We added pictures and labels to our writing and did our best work! It was fun to share our stories with our friends!

MATH: This week during math, we learned about the words greater, less and equal. We counted objects and compared them, telling which group was greater, less or equal. Then we crossed out or added objects to make the groups equal. We also practiced our teen numbers, drawing out a group of 10 and the extra ones. We keep practicing our adding and subtracting too! 

LITERACY/PHONICS: During literacy and phonics time this week, the Kinders did literacy centers on their own again! I am so proud of how hard the kindergarteners worked during this time of our day! These are some things they worked on…

  • learning the popcorn word have – writing it, finding it, painting it
  • learning the popcorn word on – writing it, finding it, painting it
  • rolling a dice and making -ot word family words
  • putting together popcorn word puzzles
  • studying our popcorn words for the week – of, on, have
