Kindergarten Happenings
What's going on in January!
Making Word Families
Each week we study a new word family. At the start of the week we use large letters and create each word.
Michael, Aiden & Connor creating the word WAG.
Sophie, Veronica, Connor & Chelsea create the word DRAG.
Kristina, Cadynce, Owen & Connor create the word BRAG.
Eli, Connor and Joanna created the word "pan".
Sophia, Peyton and Owen make the word "can".
When Aiden added his "L" we made the word "clan".
My Skills Buddy book
Each week in our reading series we focus on different letters and sounds. We use our My Skills Buddy books and with a partner have to search a big picture to find things that begin with the weekly letter(s).
We also partner read stories.
Daily Math Journals
Beginning in January we are completing a Daily Math Journal. We will discuss many different skills using these journals. Each day we work on a different prompt.
Chelsea, Michael, & Peyton work in their math journals.
Veronica, Eli, Sophie & Kristina work in their math journals.
Connor, Sophia & Aiden work in their math journals.
Joanna, Owen & Cadynce work in their math journals.
Sophia draws seven children on sleds.
Chelsea draws five children on skis.
Kristina draws to find how many children there are all together. 12!
Veronica works in her math journal.
Aiden draws icicles on a barn to show part of the problem.
Connor counts how many icicles he already drew in his math journal.
Joanna, Owen and Cadynce decide which has fewer icicles in their math journals.
Sophie draws owls to find the answer to the daily problem.
Verb Charades!
We've been reviewing that a verb is an action word, something that you do. To practice verbs, we love playing a game of Verb Charades! We work in teams and take turns guessing what the verbs are.
Owen trying to get his team to guess the word "push".
Michael tries to get his team to guess his verb, "slide".
Sophia tried to get her team to guess "jump".
Aidan's team guessed that he was "sleeping". They were right!
Eli was"surfing"!
Cadynce was "cleaning".
Writing
It's all about winter right now. We discussed different animals that can be found in artic locations and things you can do in the winter.
We practiced labeling pictures. We also used the picture cards to write about things we like to do in the winter.
