*Please have your child read and re-read the pre-decodable and the decodable books that are sent home. Depending upon your child's reading abilities these books will range from very easy to challenging. However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.
MATH
"How many in all?" and "big/small"
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays students will be in math work stations. Our math work stations are planned to reinforce our daily objectives, build a strong foundation in number sense, and discover number relationships.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
WRITING
Students are working on creating their very own color book. We start by creating a circle map to help us brainstorm objects that are the color we are working on. Then students choose one of these objects to draw and write about in detail. Our goal is to convey our ideas through drawing and writing including a lot of details, colors, labels and sentences. The conventions of writing are practiced every day by our little kindergarten authors!
