Reader's Workshop
This week we practiced reading at our reading spot. We are working on building our stamina!! In kindergarten they are expected to stay in their spot and read for 30 minutes. We have successfully made it to 13! We talked a lot about what it should look like when they are in their spot and even learned a quiet as an elf poem to help us remember.
Writer's Workshop
We talked are still learning about what writer's workshop should look like and sound like. We learned how authors always add their name to their books and about how when we think we are done, we've only just begun! We practiced adding more and more details to our pictures when we think we are finished. Ask them about their "WOW" illustrations!
Math
This week in math we went for a number walk around school searching for any numbers we saw. We also played a count and sit game and practiced counting up to 20. Today we worked on our one to one correspondence and counted with cubes in a cup.
Sight Words
Sight words are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode. I will give you more information about these words at our group conference! Each week they will have a new set of words to learn and I will remind you of next weeks words here!
