I hope everyone has had a restful weekend and stayed cozy in this blustery weather! Here is a little bit about what we have been up to in kindergarten:
Reading Workshop
Our reading workshop routines are underway, and 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
The students have been so excited to welcome our special guest readers! Thank you for sharing your love of reading with us!
