Another fun week in Kindergarten!  We finished up our first week of our Food unit.  We have been talking about From Where Food Comes…Farmers grow wheat, wheat is ground up, wheat is made into dough, dough is made into pizza dough, and we bake and eat the pizza dough!  So, we made our version of pizzas with mini bagels for the dough, cream cheese for the sauce (because not all KIndergarteners like tomato sauce) and the toppings were red peppers, which they ate like they were candy!  Just about all “ordered” a second one.”  thank you Mrs. Regan for running to the store for the peppers this morning.  I forgot those last night in my haste to get home with the roads like they were.  The kids were simply adorable, making and eating their pizzas!  I took a picture of proud Sophia to show you but my computer is giving me issues today.

Here’s what is coming up next week…

Our unit theme is “What’s for dinner?”

COMPREHENSION STRATEGY- Summarize

SKILL-Making Inferences

WORDS-Have  have  Will  will

LETTERS-N n   C c

WRITING-We will be writing sentences about ordering from a menu.

For example, I will have __________.

First we will create a list of menu items.  Next we will pretend we are ordering by saying the sentence (Oral Language).  Then we will share our sentence with our “Elbow Buddy” (person sitting next to them).  Finally we will write the sentences.  They should be able to write 2-3 sentences.  They already know the words I  will have.  The only word they will need is the word from our “menu list.”  Attention to capital letters at the beginning, SPACES between words, and punctuation at the end will be our focus.  🙂

MATH-Adding 1   Adding 2  Simple Addition story problems, with pictures and then without pictures.  Make up some as you drive to the grocery store,bank, pick up siblings from basketball, etc.. Mental math is always good!

SCIENCE-Positional Concepts

SOCIAL STUDIES-I will be giving the District Social Studies Assessment.  Goods/ Services/ Needs/ Wants/Trades

Have a wonderful weekend.
