Hello Families,
I hope you have all had a fun-filled weekend. The weather
has been perfect and I hope you got to spend some time outside enjoying it!
Here's what we're getting into this week in Kindergarten...
In Language Arts, we will:
-listen for important details in a story and retell the story
using those details.
(The Napping House, Patrick’s
Dinosaur’s, and Corduroy – some of these books and retell pieces
will be part of our Re-tell Center)
-continue to learn about new centers and practice rotations for
reading groups.
(New stations – Re-tell,
Listening Ipad)
-learn a new poem and put our names in the poem to practice
fluency.
(BINGO)
-learn strategies to read
unknown words.
In Writing, we will:
-use the sounds we know to write words and labels.
-use resources to help us write words (sounds cards, alphabet
strips).
-add details to our words and pictures to make it easier for our
friends to read.
-write a book that tells a detailed story about a personal
narrative.
In Science, we will:
-begin a new unit on magnets.
-make predictions on what is magnetic and what is not.
-sort objects that are magnetic and non-magnetic.
-test various magnetic objects and compare them.
In Math, we will:
-practice counting with one-to-one correspondence.
-continue to practice writing numerals.
-correctly match a numeral to a set.
-learn new math games to play with our friends.
-complete math rotations so we can practice a variety of
skills.
Important Information:
***Take – Home Folders***
Please be sure to check your child's folder. Papers will
come home from me or the school, and there will be projects and lessons from
the day's instruction. You can keep those papers. Thanks!
***Lunch***
If your child is buying lunch, you can manage their lunch account
on www.myschoolbucks.com
This site is also really great for putting requirements or
restrictions on your child's account. For example, if you don't want your
child to purchase more than one snack per day, you can make those requests on
the website. Take a look and let me know if you need help with
anything. Also, I talked with the class about making sure they eat all of
their lunch. I know that lunch can be a
social time, but the most important thing is to have a full belly so their
brain can work hard and grow! Please
talk with your child about this! Thank
you in advance.
***Find Out First***
Sign up for find out first to get school updates, weather
closings/delays and other important information! You can have this information sent to you via
text or through email. Let me know if
you have any questions.
***Library***
Tomorrow we will have a library lesson and book exchange. Please send your child’s library book back to
school – it goes inside the pink bin by our classroom door!
***Warm Fuzzy Jar***
We did it! We filled our
Warm Fuzzy Jar by working together, trying our best, following school and
classroom rules, being kind, responsible, polite…the list could go on…and on…and
on….
We didn’t have time to vote on a reward today. We will vote first thing tomorrow
morning. I asked the class to think
about what they would like to do as a whole class reward.
Questions to ask….
What is a detail? In writing? Reading?
Why do we re-tell stories?
What objects in our classroom are magnetic?
What does it mean to be a careful counter?
What do we do in our poetry journal?
