Dear Families,
We have had another successful week in Kindergarten! Thank you for all of your help in preparing your child for the day.
This week during Reading, we have been working on the story, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. In this story we worked on the skill of making predictions, retelling, character identification, inference, and opinion writing. Ask your kindergartner what their favorite part in the story was!
This week we have been working on the letters, c,a, d, and g. We have been able to make their sounds and identify words that start with these letters. We have also been working on our Star Words, “see & am”. Please be sure to practice these words with your child.
In Writing, we are learning the routines of Writer's Workshop. We are working on writing for longer periods of time each day. We are also working on labeling our work and doing our best to add words to our stories. Writers have also been asked to tell the who, what, when, and where in their stories. Please encourage your child to try writing down the sounds that they hear! It is okay if the spelling is not quite perfect now- we can always go back to fix it!
During Math we have been working on number identification 1-5. We practiced this by playing a bingo game. The kiddos loved it! We also started looking closely at the shapes circle, square, rectangle, and triangle. Students needed to identify objects in the classroom that were that shape.
Reminders:
* Continue to send a healthy snack for the afternoon with your child- no cookies, chips, or candy.
* Wear your Badger gear tomorrow! Let's go Wisconsin!
* No school on Friday, September 28th- Teacher Professional Development Day
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us!
Take care,
Mrs. Rocky
