Mrs. Grant's Kindergarten
January 14-18
Winter time recess
100th day of school
Readers Workshop
During our shared reading, we learned about inferring and drawing conclusions. Our mini lesson activity was drawing conclusions about Mrs. Grant by learning what was inside my purse/schoolbag. We found that I'm a mommy from the diapers, a teacher from my markers and books, and a driver from my wallet and license. The students have been making their own bags with clues about them!
K.F.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
K.S.3 Speak audibly and express thoughts, feelings, and ideas clearly
K.F.4 Read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding
Math Workshop
This week we have continued our work with measurement, focusing on weight. I hope you were able to have some math conversations with their notebook on Thursday. Showing children that math is all around them, in even their everyday life, can produce math thinkers!
K.MD.1 Describe and compare measurable attributes such as length and width
K.MD.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute.
