Daily 5/Language Arts
The Kindergarteners are blossoming as beginning readers and I am so proud of all of them! If you are able, please log on to the ConnectEd site and have them read to you. We have been working on a variety of new and old skills these past couple of weeks such as rhyming, blending phonemes (sounds), and substituting different beginning sounds to create different words (fan to ran, for example). The students have also started to write more and are quickly improving their knowledge of writing sentences as well. All of these things are easy to incorporate into your story time at home. Have pick out rhyming words in the stories, identify their sight words as they come across them, or sound out simple words. After you read, have them draw a picture of their favorite part and write an "I like..." sentence!
Math
After discussing tallies, tally charts, and graphs we learned about what it means for something to have equal parts and that halves is the same as having two equal parts and fourths is the same as having four equal parts! But a pizza, pancake, or cookie into halves or fourths this weekend and see if your student is able to identify it for you! Next up: numbers to 100, adding, and subtracting!!
Science
The Kindergarten students have enjoyed learning about landforms, where we find water, and what Earth's surface is made of (sand, soil, rocks, and water). Ask them to sing our landform song for you this weekend!
We are out of Clorox wipes. If you are willing/able to contribute a container of wipes, we would very much appreciate it!
"SNOW" much fun on the playground!
