Mrs. Schrage's Kindergarten News
For the week of October 3rd- October 7th
What are we learning?
Curriculum for the Week:
Unit 2: A Colorful Time with Rhythm & Rhyme
Focusing on phonological awareness, students are challenged to listen for rhythm and rhyming words within the literature. Concepts of print are taught as students read poems on wall charts, modeled writing, and in informational books. Description of gathered objects and pictures highlight the secondary focus on color, encouraging rich description, discussion in spoken language, and vocabulary development. In this early stage of writing, students use a combination of drawing, dictation, and writing to retell poems and stories.
Sight Words: big, is, me
Phonemic Awareness: We will continue the program, Michael Heggerty where the students will do a series of oral phonemic awareness activities each day. These are a few activities that are in the program; rhyming, segmenting words, substituting sounds, deleting/adding phonemes, language awareness, blending sounds & being able to identify beginning, middle and ending sounds.
Phonics: We will continue to focus on segmenting words and writing the corresponding letters to write words.
Reading: We will learn story elements.
Writing: We will be working on Narrative Writing in relation to the stories we are reading.
Vocabulary: listener, speaker
Math: We will begin Topic 4, Comparing and Ordering Numbers 0 to 10.
