Writing Workshop:
We finished our informational writing unit this week! We watched many informational videos on different animals so that we could become experts and write about them. We first talked about everything we already knew about the animal. Then we watched the videos and even read some informational text on that specific animal to learn more! We took all the information we knew and learned and put it in a book written by “us”! We are focusing on adding detailed pictures to our stories so our audience can learn from them and also adding bold words to let the reader know “pay attention, this is important”!
Readers Workshop:
-
This week the Kinders continued to discover Non-fiction books, finding features in books, and exploring new words they might not know. We added these words to a Class Vocabulary Chart. It was REALLY exciting to see Kinders notice these new words in other books! We are also listening to nonfiction books on our laptops from Khan Academy. Kids love their laptop reading time!
-
The Kinders also listened to fiction books from one of our favorite authors: Robert Munch! We are focusing on setting, characters, and problem. We also retell the story by talking about what happened in the beginning, middle, and end.
Math:
This week we continued our work in Unit 5 of our Math curriculum. The Kinders worked hard exploring teen numbers, wrote numbers all the way to 100, drew and wrote number sentences to match story problems. The Kinders loved playing the missing partner game as well with a partner.
Snacks:
We are VERY low on snacks!!! Please think of us when you are at the grocery store!! Every student should bring 2 different snacks to share with the class. Thanks for contributing!!! xoxo
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!! XOXOXO
