Reading:
We are working on CVC words, "at" family, syllables, and reading our beginner books. We have been working on beginner readers that the students color and keep for a few months. We have these books in a special place to practice everyday. This week the students each received their first classroom beginning reader! This is a book that they are practicing everyday and will bring home to share with you! They will return this book and I will give them a new book to practice . They are very excited about this! I will let you know what day they bring this home!
Writing:
January is always a big month in kindergarten for writing! They are doing so well and you can probably start to decipher their writing work without my notes ;) We continue to work on our daily journals and build on writing skills. The student have a checklist on the back of their journal pages now that they must review everyday after they write. I am so proud of their new writing skills and cannot wait to send home their January journals!
Math:
The exciting math lesson of the week was learning how to use a calculator! It was so cute to see their excitement when they go the right answer from challenging problems I was giving :) We are also working on counting to 50 by 1's, 100 by 10's, Comparing numbers (greater than/less than), bundling 10's, and recognizing and writing numbers 1-20.
Theme:
This week we read The Mitten by Jan Brett and practiced retelling the story. The kids are doing a great job at retelling and talking about beginning and endings. Next week we will add middle, characters, and setting!
Have a great weekend!
