Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break!!! 4 weeks and we are starting 2017!!! Time is zooming……………… This week:

Review Week: Traveling Near and Far

Reading: We are reading On the Go; Big, Big Trucks; Timimoto; Poems: My Bike; Subway Train

Sight words: we, the, I, can, like, am, a, see, it, is, go

Bonus words: play, went, because

Letters of the Week: Bb, Rr (We are doubling up now. Make sure you child is practicing all the sounds and letters to help with their writing).

Writing: We will continue to work on informational writing. We are creating a traveling poster. Students will identify a place they would like to go and how they will get there. Word banks of places to visit and vehicles for transportation will be provided. We will also discuss what travels on land, water or air to further describe their writing. Sentence stem will look like:

I can go to the ___by ____. or

We can got to the __. We can go by ___.

Math: We will practice writing numbers 1-40. We will practice counting by 10’s to 100. Its all about graphs this week. We will take a survey (ie. what’s your favorite cookie? or what ice cream flavor would you prefer?). Thee idea is to get information and convert it into a graph that is readable and understandable to a kindergartener. What better way than to have the your child create one so he/she can read/interpret it?

Social Studies: We will dive into needs and wants some more this week. We will also explore goods and services if we have time.

Have a great week!
