Hello Kindergarten Families!
Welcome to Kindergarten Room 114. Here you will find updates and news about what's happening in our classroom. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments! :)
Classroom Highlights:
Math:
- We continued counting by 5's and 10's.
- We continued identifying numbers before and after to 20.
- February's number corner calendar markers inspire us to think about counting groups of 5 and some more
- We are continuing to write our teen numbers accurately as young children will often write seventeen as 71.
Reading:
- We used our "super reading powers" to help us read tricky words.
- We worked on retelling our books.
- We learned how to read with a partner and how to have a discussion about what we are reading.
- We read non-fiction books and learned lots of new information.
- We enjoyed some winter read alouds, including "Sneezy The Snowman," "All You Need For A Snowman," "Snowmen At Night," and many more!
Writing:
- We continued writing true stories that have a beginning, middle, and end.
- We shared our writing with a friend.
- We talked about things that make our writing easy to read, including spaces in between words, detailed pictures, using speech bubbles, writing neatly, and using punctuation.
- We started adding feelings to our stories.
- We started using two new tools to help us with writing, such as a personal word wall and a writing checklist.
