What's Happening?

It looks like fall is here to stay and winter isn't far away! Take a peek below to see what we have been learning in kindergarten!  

Reading Workshop

Our reading workshop routines are underway. In our first unit students have begun to develop an understanding of themselves as readers and the different genres of text that interest them. We have also practiced how to actively engage in conversations during reading workshop time by asking questions and expressing our opinions about the books we are reading. 


Sight Words

The students continue to do a great job with our sight word routine each week. We have now learned the following words. Continued practice with these words will help students gain confidence as they begin learning how to read.

I, can, a, an, see, the, like, look, go, to, do, am, at, no, so, for, or, we, me, he, she


Math

We have just begun Chapter 4 in math, which focuses on composing and decomposing numbers through 5, ordering numbers 0-10, using our fingers to count, adding one more to a number, and comparing number values using more and less.


Writing Workshop

Now that we have completed our Jolly Phonics instruction, we now have more time to put those letter sounds into practice as we sound out words to write labels and an idea about our drawings. Continued practice with the Jolly Phonics sounds will help make our kindergarten authors more confident in attempting to write words independently!


Handwriting

We have now introduced the correct formation for all numbers and uppercase letters. We have moved on to lowercase letter formation and have introduced the following letters so far: 

c, o, s, v, w


Guest Readers

Thank you so much to all of our guest readers! The students have been enjoying many great read alouds!
