Thursday: There's A Wocket In My Pocket! Come to school in clothes that have lots of pockets with little treasures tucked inside! WE have fun with this one.
Friday:Wear your favorite SOCKS! We will read Fox In Socks!
We are in need of page protectors. We use them at our centers and we recently ran out. If anyone has page protectors they wouldn't mind donating it would be greatly appreciated.
Math: We are continuing our unit TRICKY TEENS! We will be breaking numbers down into tens and ones! Our unit assessment will be coming up soon! The beginning of the month I also assess counting skills. Our goal is to count to 100! MANY are already there! Please practice and make sure your child is making progress! We have many friends with amazing NUMBER SENSE!
We have been learning about the penny and this week we will introduce the dime! Practice counting pennies and dimes at home!
Sight words: do, play, yes
Sight Word Reader: Do You Play?
Word Work: AT family words and DIGRAPH work (th, sh, ch, wh)
I will be sending home flash cards with all 50 kindergarten sight words. Please be sure to practice them with your child. We have learned 30 out of the 50 so far but feel free to practice all of them! Please remember...they are SIGHT words. Children should be quick and automatic with them not sounding them out.
Writing: This week we will be creating a school web. Words that all relate to our experiences at school. Once our web is created the students will be taking these words and putting them into sentences. We are looking for
- starting a sentence with an uppercase letter
- finger spaces between words
- using our web and word wall to spell familiar words correctly
- putting punctuation at the end of our sentences
