Congratulations to our spelling bee reps! Zoe and Ellie will be representing our class in the spelling bee.  Leo is our alternate.  Nice going, Kindergarteners!

Reading
This week we learned about being an avid reader.  Avid readers read EVERYWHERE!  You might point out when your child is reading in unexpected places!  A restaurant menu! A cereal box!  A street sign!  We even read directions on a tablet.  Avid readers don't stop reading! 

Writing
We started our opinion writing unit.  During this unit we write about strong feelings and try to convince our reader with reasons.  This is (in my opinion) the most difficult unit in Kindergarten.  Next week we will write about books and seasons.

Word Study
We are all focusing on vowels when we read and write!  Here we are using our Vowel Shields to search for vowels around the room. We also used them to check Mabel's writing for words that were missing a vowel.

Math
During math we focused on fact fluency.  If you can believe it we are already doing addition fact sprints.  We practice these facts over and over until we don't have to think about them!

Social Studies
Thanks PTO for sponsoring an Earth Friendly assembly.  If your child says they need to BYOBB- they know that it means Bring Your Own Bag and Bottle!
