I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, and hopefully any time
off last week. I sadly was sick most of it, but now feeling much better. So I
apologize for getting this blog out so late! Below are some important notes,
pictures from last week, and what we will be doing this week.
Notes
· 100’s day projects are due
on Wednesday! I sent home the note about it before we left for break. This is
not meant to be stressful, please have fun with it! It can be as easy as 100
stickers on a paper or as crafty as knitting 100 loops. I am very excited to
see what everyone brings.
· Our sight word test is this
Friday! If students didn’t get to practice much over break, there is still this
week=) We practice in class too, so together I think they will do great.
· Our next field trip is
planned for Wednesday, March 18th to OMSI! I am excited about this
because we get to join in a lab on My Body which we have been learning about. I
will send home permission slips soon, but I wanted to give a heads up for any
parents who like to volunteer. I will need at least 2 chaperones=) The trip
will be close to the whole school day.
Reading:
blending and segmenting
In reading we are practicing hearing those sounds in our CVC
words (short three letter words). It may seem like an easy task, but many
kindergarteners are still learning to differentiate all the sounds in a word,
and it can be tricky for some. You can
help at home by asking students “what is the first/last/ middle sound you hear
in… man?”
This helps as they begin to read and write. They are also working on breaking
up words which helps in spelling.
We are also beginning to focus more on punctuation marks, what
they are called and how we use them.
Writing:
How-to books
In writing, we started our “How to” writing last week. In this
type of writing students pick something they know how to do and write
directions on how to do it. They will have a finished poster product when they
are done, which we will get to celebrate again.
Math: subtraction
In math we have moved on to subtraction. Most students
understand this concept but learning how to write the equation is much more
difficult=/ Doing the homework at home together will definitely help them.
We are also continuing to do addition and subtraction timed
tests. You say “Kindergarten! What! Crazy!” I know;) In kindergarten they are
supposed to be fluent in numbers within 5, for example 5+5=10 and 10-5=5. I
consider them fluent if they can do 6 in one minute. They start at +0 and when
they pass they get to move up to the next level. All the kids are at different
spots and that is completely okay!
Science: All
About Me
Like I mentioned we are working on our All About Me Unit. So
we are learning about our bodies, senses, and how to keep healthy. This week we
will be learning about our teeth and have a dentist coming to see us on
Thursday.
Bible:
God Heals
In bible we are learning how God can help and heal us. For
Bible verses this week I did not send home the verse, but we will practice in
class and I will test them on Friday.
