Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
What is Mycology? (the study of fungi/mushrooms)
Can you create two sets of objects, then tell which is greater than or less than? Or...are they equal?
Word Work
We can name words that rhyme.
Writers Workshop
As Writers, we can think about....and plan out our stories across the pages.

Shared Reading
We can track print (touch each word as we read). We can use picture clues to determine unknown words.
Our students have learned so many of our "big book stories". They are even choosing to read the big books during Friday's Free Choice Center Time (Explorations). Way to go, readers!
Math Workshop
As Mathematicians, we can create sets that are greater than, less than, or equal to another set.

Do not forget to be working with your child on the activities and projects so that he can obtain the Environmental Science Tag.
Aiden is sharing some really cool pictures from nature with the class.
Family Fun
We welcome all of our kindergarten friends and families to send in pictures of family fun. We will have your child share his/her pictures with our classmates on the SmartBoard. Sometimes, we might include the pictures in our weekly Smore newsletter.
