What an exciting week!
Here's a peek at our week:
We began our week with a Mystery Reader. Thank you Mr. Walkup for reading Rosie Revere, Engineer and I'm Going to Like Me to our kiddos.
Our Shared Reading this week was In the Ocean to the tune, "Hand Jive". We sorted by short and long vowel sounds. We added two new words to the word wall. Our new word wall words are of and all. Please practice sight words with your child at home.
We continue to explore independent early literacy skills during our Daily 5 word work stations. This week we introduced new word sorts. We cut, colored, and raced to sort beginning sounds, short vowels, blends, or long vowels. We practiced reading and writing words that begin with blends and digraphs. We also reviewed sight words by sorting, coloring, reading, and spinning a word wall word. We worked on writing labels and stories, developed phonemic awareness skills using Lexia, and read to ourselves in our book boxes. Please ask your child to share with you their favorite Daily Five station this week.
In Reader's Workshop, we reviewed stamina reading and reading playdates. Take a peek at our avid readers!
In Writer's Workshop, we began our convince me writing. Similar to our how-to persuasive writing, we are telling our reader what we want, why we want it, and ending with the word "please". We can't wait to convince you with our persuasive writing. Take a peek at our kindergarten writers!
During Math Tubs, we reviewed one-to-one correspondence, counting on, addition to 10, subtraction, subitizing, BUMP, and teen numbers. In whole group Math, we continue to explore counting Say Ten numbers. This week's focus was counting in circular configurations. We also practiced core fluency sprints.
In Science, we explored our new snail tubs. This week we observed and read about snails, labelled the parts of the snail, sorted and classified shells, and determined what snails do and do not eat.
On Wednesday, we had our Book Buddies field trip to the Schaumburg Boomers baseball game. A big thank you to Carla and Christi for joining us on the trip. Take a peek at our kindergartners and their buddies. What a fun way to send them off to the middle school!
On Thursday, we had our final round of Traveling Poets. We are poets and we know it!
