We had a great week in Kindergarten finishing up some of our Reading Literature Standards and beginning to learn about how to read Informational Texts.
Reading: We worked with our Book Buddies twice this week to begin our bear research projects. The students had to answer four questions about bears and then present it using an app called Explain Everything. When these are completed you will see a digital copy of them. They are very impressive!
Writing: We continue to work on informational writing. This week our focus has been on bears.
Math: We are working on naming shapes and on number stories within five. Please practice identifying these shapes at home: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, hexagon, rhombus. In general the students know the shapes, but right now only one student knows all 6 shapes consistently. Keep practicing!
Bears: We are gearing up for our trip to the zoo! We have learned a lot about bears and will continue to learn about them this week. One thing we are very excited about is our HIBERNATION DAY on Friday! Students can wear pajamas to get ready to hibernate. They can also bring a special book from home to read (under our tables...I mean...in our dens). Students can bring a bear snack- such as fish..or goldfish, teddy grahams, honeycomb cereal, berries, gummy bears, etc. We will also have a teddy bear picnic...so a TEDDY BEAR is a must! We will all eat in the Kindergarten pod on towels with our bears. Parents are welcome to join us for our picnic, but there will be nothing formal. If your child plans on getting hot lunch on Friday, we will make sure they get their milk or hot lunch.
