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

POPCORN WORDS: by, my, one

READING: This week during reading, we made connections to characters in our books by thinking…”Has that ever happened to me?” We talked about something special breaking or getting/wanting a pet. We thought…”Has that ever happened to me?” Then we learned more about characters in the books we read. We read more Froggy books and compared the adventures Froggy goes on in different books. Then we compared two different characters in an Elephant and Piggie book. We noticed what was the same about them and what was different. We ended the week comparing different characters in different books and finding things they had in common and things that were different.

WRITING: During writing this week, we wrote another small moment story. 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 more about teen numbers – we drew out the teen number, found the partners for the teen number and wrote the equation for the teen number. We compared more numbers – finding the number that is L (less), G (greater) or E (equal). We also started to compare length and height in objects as well as comparing weight in objects. We are still working on adding and subtracting numbers 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…
