Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far. Our first week in kindergarten was a great success! Our classroom family is full of fun personalities and kind hearts. See below for some fun pictures from our week. Remember to send your child with a water bottle each day and a morning and afternoon snack if they're full day. Please remember to return your "birthday book" insert on Monday as well! Here's a look at what we will be learning about in week 2!
Spalding: This week we will continue to work on feature
formations of Spalding. This is a circle (clock), short line, tall line, line
that goes below the baseline, diagonal line and short line above the
midpoint. Short letters
stay under the midpoint and tall letters go just below the top line. By taking
the time to do this practice it will help build muscle memory and help
students are forming each letter correctly.
Literature: Our story this week will be
the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will compare and
contrast different versions of the story, sequences the events, and even
try some porriage. We will do a listening and following directions activity
with the students. This is a good opportunity to work on listening
carefully and following directions.
Math:
This
week we will begin to use our math textbooks. Our first unit will be
exploring sets. Students will identify objects as being the same, identical,
different, or not the same (using those words). Students will be shown
two objects that are exactly the same and asked what makes them exactly the
same (size, color, shape, etc.)
Science: We will continue to learn all about how to keep a
healthy body this week. We will discuss what germs are and students will get to
do an experiment to see how quickly these germs can spread. We will talk about
proper hand washing as well as how to sneeze in our “pockets.” Our scholars
will learn the names of all the major organs in our bodies and we will talk in
depth about the importance of keeping our heart healthy through exercise.
Finally, we will discuss one of our favorite things to do; sleep!
