Language Arts
We have touched on so many different skills this week and I have done a little monthly assessing as well. Incorporating the visual phonics into our letter/letter sound practice has really helped the students progress quickly; many of them either know all of their consonant/short vowel sounds or are only missing a two or three of them! Because they are doing so awesome, I introduced long vowel sounds this week which I do not usually do until just after Christmas break. This group loves to learn! We have also been working hard on identifying the final sound in short, three-letter words (a skill they are all struggling with), counting sound and syllables in a word, decoding and encoding words, and rhyming.
Math
The kids are finishing up their unit on positional words and did amazing on them all! The only two tricky ones were right and left. Please incorporate these into your discussion and practice at home!
Science/Social Studies
The "How do animals move and change?" science unit was completed and each student aced their assessment. We have begun a new Social Studies unit called "Where We Live" in which we were discussing what we know, so far, about our world. Some of the words they used to describe it were nice, amazing, wonderful, beautiful, and awesome. Through the eyes of Kindergartners...
