I can hardly believe that it is almost September!! The start of the school year has really flown by quickly!!! I am sure it is because we are SO busy in kindergarten!! We will continue to get even busier, if that is possible!!!
In literacy this week we will finish up with learning about the alphabet!! We will be learning about W-Z!! That is SUPER exciting!! Although, next week we will start focusing in on one letter a week!! On Friday we will review the alphabet and have a little chicka chicka boom boom celebration!!! We will continue to talk about all of the fun things kindergarteners can do. We will continue to review the words ‘I’ & ‘can.’ We have even been reading them in books…YES I said they are reading them. It is pretty amazing to hear these kids already reading. We have also been reading a lot of nursery rhymes…the kids really enjoy these and we have even been learning about syllables!
In writing we continue to become amazing authors!! We now have our writing folders and have been practicing telling our stories out loud to our talking buddies!! This week we will really focus on trying our best as writers and how to draw objects that may seem tricky we will practice drawing people together- but not the stick kind! We will also focus on our first writing trait "Ideas"!
We will continue to discuss Anno’s Counting Book in math! We will also be doing our counting mats and graphing with numbers 1-10!! We have also been working hard on writing numbers and will really focus on writing the number 3 this week! We have also been talking about things that are alike and different!! I love hearing the kids talk about math and seeing them reason about numbers!! They are just SO smart!! Please watch for our first math homework sheets coming home this week!
Unfortunately we did not get our safety unit finished last week- but I just know we will this week! I can't wait for your child to bring home the book we have been working on that is helping us learn all about safety at home and school. This week you will get a note about practicing your child’s important information (full name, address, and phone number). Please keep this sheet at home and practice, practice, practice!!! We will also practice at school and hopefully the kids will be excited to get a special surprise once they can say it by memory!!
Well….I think that is all for now!!! I hope you have a great week!!! :)
We are going to be having another wonderful week in kindergarten!
