Brrr..it’s good kite flying weather with the winds, but it’s also quite cold. I read that The temperature prediction for Thursday is 70 degrees! Wouldn’t that be lovely? 🙂
For those of you who went to Howard’s Roller Skating Event, I hope you enjoyed the evening. If you didn’t attend and had other plans, I hope you enjoyed your family time too.
Here’s what we’ll be doing this week…
READING-We’ll finish Unit 8 What’s In My Garden? I’ll read “Sunflower House.”
WRITING-Most of the students are writing 2-3 sentences on a single topic. Several students are writing more than 3 sentences on a topic. What great writers! They are focused on sounds and the corresponding letters to go with the sounds. Many are going beyond the individual sound to letter and are writing known words or are connecting to rhyming or spelling words. Awesome!!
They’ll write about what they might grow if they had a little garden. They’ll also write about if they had a little sunflower house, what would they do in it? Their writing response should be more detailed than just “I would play in it.” Who would be in the house with them? What would they play? Would they eat anything? Where would their house be? What would they have in the house? a bed? a lamp? a teddy bear?
On Thursday I will read a folk tale titled “The Rabbit and the Elephant.” Hmmm…I wonder what that tale will teach us?
SPELLING-Review week and a new chunk ub.
said little was here sub tub cub rub
MATH-Telling Time We’ve already talked about the hour hand, the minute hand. where the hands need to be for o’clocks, and that there are 5 minutes between any two consecutive numbers on the clock. Last week, using my big clock, I walked through 24 hours with them. This is 7:00-you are waking up. 8:00-eating breakfast 9:00-in school 11:00-finishing our Writing/Reading Groups 12:00-Recess 3:00-finishing our afternoon 4:00-home, having a snack and reviewing Spelling Words 5:00-setting the table and helping to prepare dinner 6:00-clearing the table and helping to clean up 7:00-studying Spelling Words and playing (7:30-get ready for bed) 8:00-IN BED 9:00 PM-7:00 AM -sleeping and then the cycle begins again. They were laughing and enjoying a walk through their day.
We also will review > < =
On Tuesday we will enjoy Ice Cream Sundaes…this month’s reward for good behavior and making good choices. Well earned, Kindergarteners. Keep up making those good choices.
SCIENCE-We will observe and record our plant growth in our Science Journals.
