Weekly News (Nov. 5-9)

All About Me
It was Mia's turn this week to share her "Me Box!"  We were so excited to learn that she loves to surf.  How fun!  We also learned that Mia loves to play soccer and sing.  She loves cats too and wishes she could get one!




Math
Our focus in math this week was learning and recognizing the "Tricky Teens."  Learning the numbers 11-19 can be tricky because the pattern isn't as simple as it is once you get into the 20's.  We will spend a lot of time in kindergarten reading, writing, and playing games to reinforce the "Tricky Teens."  When lining up one day this week, we practiced lining up in order from 0-20!


Jolly Phonics
We've been busy learning new sounds this week including the following:

ie as in "tie"
ee as in "feet"
or as in "sport"

Literacy
After assessing all of the students early this week, I was able to squeeze in some time to meet with students in their guided reading groups.  The students were so excited to get a new book for their book bags.  Please have your child read their new book at home.  The children also enjoyed listening to several stories this week including Thanksgiving Day and On the Go as well as several Thanksgiving poems.  We even created acrostic poems of our own that told about all of the things we are thankful for.  The students did an amazing job with this writing activity.  Their poems will be on display in the hallway for parent teacher conferences!

Looking forward to meeting with all of you!
