Our Kindergarten students have been very busy learning this week! We have been working on our fifth sound book and have learned the sounds for z, w, ng, and v. The students have been busy "blending" the sounds together to read words and "segmenting or stretching the sounds out" to write simple words. The students have also been practicing reading Kindergarten sight words! The students were very excited to practice putting these skills together to read BOOKS during our guided reading groups! The students have been practicing reading independently during our "Read to Self" time and have also been learning how to read with a partner during our "Read With Someone " time. The students have learned to sit EEKK (elbow to elbow, knee to knee, book in the middle so we both can see) while reading with a partner! The pictures for today's post show our students sitting EEKK practicing reading!.
We have been busy learning about the four seasons! The students have learned how the change of the seasons affect people (we dress differently, our activities change, etc.), plants (we learned how trees change throughout the year), and animals (hibernating, birds migrating, etc.). Quiz your child at home and see if he/she can tell you the four seasons and how the weather changes during each season.
In math, the students have been identifying 2D shapes. We have been using attributes to compare shapes and describe how the shapes are different. We ended the week working with our 3rd grade buddies to use 2D shapes to make an Angry Bird! Ask your child to identify 2D shapes (square, rectangle, circle, triangle, and rhombus) and describe at least one attribute for each shape!
