I seriously cannot believe we are starting the 4th quarter of kindergarten! It is crazy how the year goes by so fast and we are going to continue to learn like crazy until we are ready for 1st grade! I sure hope all of my friends had a fabulous spring break and are ready for more fun in kindergarten!
Ms. Bailey will be starting this week and is super excited to be in kindergarten! Her first day will actually be on Tuesday, and Ms. Bogner will be there on Monday! I know that all my friends will make her feel welcome and will work work extra hard for her! Also I am not for sure if they will come back or not – but in the past I have had some sneaky leprechauns come into my classroom on St. Patrick’s Day and play tricks on us – but not for sure if they will come or not this year! Ms. Bailey will have to let me know! Make sure your kindergartener wears green on Thursday! Also please send back your shamrocks if you haven't already!
Here's what my friends will be learning about this week!
In literacy we will be discussing what can go from here to there. Our vocabulary words will be transportation, vehicle, journey, fierce, and wide. The stories we will be reading are “When Daddy’s Truck Picks Me Up”, “The King of the Winds”, and “From Here to There.” We will be talking about how we can make predictions when we read, we will also be talking about the character, setting, and plot. The letters we will be learning will be ‘j’ and ‘q’. Our two new sight words will be ‘here’ and ‘me’. We are busy kids!!!
In math we are going to be working on our night sky display – this is a great tool we use to help us learn more about groups of 10 and number partners and equations. I think that all of my friends will really like our display and we will be using it every day during daily math routines. Of course we will continue to work on story problems and teen numbers too!
During unit studies we will start talking about nutrition and the different food groups! We have a big kit full of fun activities that we will be doing over the next few weeks!
In writing we will continue to write stories about our lives and the things that we like to do. We will review turtle talking and stretching out words we don’t know how to spell and will even learn about the writing trait – voice! We will talk a lot about voice and how we can use it to make our stories even better! My friends will LOVE this writing trait! Before we left for break we talked a lot about research and how we can find out real information from different kinds of sources!
I hope my friends have a great week back at school!
