Kindergarten Highlights
May & June 2015
What's Happening in Kindergarten!
Word Study
We will continue to explore letter blends and how they differ from digraphs. Fun activities will help us to recognize the various blend sounds.
We will also learn about "tricky e" at the end of a word, and how it makes a short vowel in the beginning of the word "say its name."

Reading Workshop
We will continue to challenge ourselves with new reading books to share with our families and use our Reading Superpowers to solve problems as we encounter new words. We will review our word families with activities that will help us add new words to our writing word vocabulary.
Writing Workshop
We will begin our "All About..." books and move on to persuasive writing. Persuasive writing will include many activities such as book reports.
Social Studies
We will finish up the year by focusing on how our community fits into the world. We will talk about the states, our country as a whole, our continent, and all of the continents of the world.
