We
are really getting the hang of things now in kindergarten! Monday will mark day
10 of kindergarten and in math that is some very exciting news, because we will
be able to finally make a group of 10 on our 120 chart and a group of 10 on our
money chart – I just know that the kids will all be super excited for this!
During math we will be continuing to explore numbers with our counting mats as
well as our own counting books but we will also start practicing how to write
the numbers 1 and 2 and comparing things that are the same and different!
In
literacy we will be continuing to learn about letters and the sounds they make
and will be focusing on letters up to the letter V this week! We are loving the
ABC chant and loving the songs we get to sing that practice the letters and
sounds! We also will be reviewing the words “I” and “can”. We are becoming
readers so FAST!!!! This week we will be reading “Tikki Tikki Tembo” (make sure
to ask about this story and the little boys name) and we will also be reading “Teddy’s
Week”, “Kindergarteners Can”, and making connections back to our Alphabet in
the Park book! We have found out that it is fun to read sentences that have
exclamation marks at the end of them!
Speaking
of Literacy… please remember Thursday, Sept. 4th is our Literacy
night here in our classroom from 6-7pm. I sure hope you and your kindergartener
can make it! We will be talking about what we do in kindergarten and also
getting some materials to take home so you can practice! It is sure to be a lot
of FUN so I hope you all can come! A flier will be coming home this week about
it!
In writer’s workshop we will be getting our very own folders and will learn how to use them to help us become better writers! We will also be looking at the book “Good Dog, Carl” (which is a book with no words) that will help us learn that stories can be told just through pictures – which is where we will start. In kindergarten we start by drawing pictures then we will add beginning letters to our pictures, then labels, and finally start some sentences (we will be focusing on just pictures this week and will slowly get to the rest).
Remember we go to P.E. on Day C – so make sure to mark it on your calendar – this week it is on Tuesday. You can find the day on the lunch calendar!
In unit studies we are continuing to learn about how to stay safe and will finish up our safety books! We will hopefully get to go on a safety walk around the school to practice using the crosswalk and also so we can see the signs that are all around us to help us stay safe. If we are super lucky on Friday we will get to read “Officer Buckle” and watch the video AND make a stoplight snack! But we have a lot to do so I sure hope we work hard all week long and learn how to stay safe at school and at home!
I
hope you had a wonderful weekend and of course if you have any questions or
concerns please let me know! :) Mrs. Woita
