Reading/Daily 5
We covered many different topics in reading this week! We learned to read and write the -op word family, practiced counting syllables for words in our environment as well as the books we are reading, and adding "s" to the end of a word to make it plural (as well as what the word "plural" means). A couple of the vocab words we learned were amazing and develop. We also learned to read and write the word "are". The students enjoyed a story called "A Grand Old Tree" which depicted the long life of a tree, beginning from a seedling to an old, rotting trunk that eventually becomes part of the earth. They were amazed to see how one tree can create many more trees by it's fruit and seeds being dropped, carried, and left on the ground all over!
Math
The Kindergarteners discussed temperature at the beginning of this week and wrapped up our measurement unit with some fun with rulers. The students enjoyed getting to measure the length of items in inches with individual rulers (see pictures below!). Next up on our list we will be discovering numbers up to 100 and "tens" and "ones".
Fun with measuring...
Science
We began our unit on weather and have enjoyed being meteorologists this week! Each morning the students have been tracking the weather on a graph and recording the information in a weather mini booklet. They have also learned and discussed the seasons of spring and summer.
