Ms. Ashmore's Class - September 15, 2023
This Week in Kindergarten
Today is the 8th day of Kindergarten and we are well on our way to a great year! The students are working hard and we are enjoying each other so much! We learned how to subitize in math. Subitizing means knowing how many are there without needing to count. We use our fingers, five-frames, and lots of games to develop this number sense skill. We also read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault. The alphabet has never been so much fun as in this classic story! We read (and sang) the book several times, made our own coconut trees, retold the parts of the story, and went on a letter hunt!
Learning to work as scientists, we used our five senses this week. The students conducted several experiments designed to isolate one of their senses. For example, we mixed different colors of water to see what happened, tried to guess the sound from a selection of noises, and smelled various scents and tried to predict what was in the cup. Next week, we will conclude our unit with a salt and sugar experiment using all the senses.
Please join us Monday, September 18th for Kindergarten Curriculum Night in the gym. Here, we will take a more in-depth look at our curriculum and what we will be doing in the year ahead. Please RSVP below to let us know if you can make it.
