What's Happening!

Happy fall everyone! It's hard to believe how quickly our kindergarten days are passing by. Take a peek below to see what we have been learning in kindergarten!

Jolly Phonics

We are learning new sounds each day and beginning to apply them as we learn to read and write words. We have introduced the following sounds so far:

s, a, t, i, p, n, ck

e, h, r, m, d, g

o, u, l, f, b, j, z, w, v

Sight Words

The students are eager to learn our new sight words each week, and they are doing a great job highlighting our poems each week. We have now learned the following words:

I, can, a, an, see, the, like, look

Math

We continue to work with the numbers 1-10. We are learning to write, count, and compare numbers. We are also learning how to represent numbers in a variety of ways including using ten frames, which helps lay the building blocks for addition and subtraction. These skills are often reinforced during our daily calendar routine. 

Literacy

We have begun our phonemic awareness routine and are currently learning the following skills:

Reviewing letters and sounds

Rhyming

Identifying beginning and ending sounds in words

Segmenting and blending compound words

Substituting word parts to make new words

Handwriting

The children continue to develop their fine motor skills as they are learning to write letters and numbers. We can see their hand strength and confidence growing each week. 

So far the students have learned how to write the following letters and numbers.

Letters: F, E, D, P, B, R, V, W, X, Y, Z

Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
