What We Did During Our Week:
REMINDER: NO SCHOOL TOMORROW FOR KINDERGARTEN!!
This week we learned about the letters G and T! We started to talk about syllables. We use a drum to hear the chunks in the word, we pat on our laps, and we use our hand under our chin to see how many syllables in a word. This is something else you can practice at home! Book bags came home this week, along with a note about them. Please read these books everyday – they seem easy and repetitive (which they are) – the goal is to be pointing under each word as they read. Making sure to not rush and just run their finger as they read. Bring these bags home and back to school everyday! They will get more books added as time goes on. 🙂
I tested every single kid on their alphabet, letter sounds, sight words, and reading level. This information will be shared out in conferences in just a few short weeks.
Math we are finishing up our module – working with numbers in 10 and now knowing what is ‘1 more’. Below is a game we played that can be played at home – make a number strip – use something to cover a number and take turns figuring out what the mystery number is. 🙂 Note if they need to count up starting at 1 or if they can look at the surrounding numbers to figure it out.
Other:
Thursday we picked out pumpkins in the morning and then cut them open, cleaned them out, and decorated them in the afternoon!
Next week is Halloween – if you would like to send your child in with a bucket for Halloween you may do so in order to collect treats. Just please make sure their name is somewhere on it in case we have duplicates. 🙂
