Reading

We are close to having our first 25 word wall words all introduced in our classroom.  Some students have already passed these and are working on challenge words.  Keep up all the hard work on these words.  We will be working on our last half of the words after Christmas.  Please practice these papers as they come home!

Other Areas

In math we have been busy working on our numbers to 30.  This has been a challenge for many of our students.  We even took last week to review them by doing a variety of activities.  We took our Chapter 5 test on the numbers on Monday.  Keep working on these at home.  In Social Studies we have been spending some time talking about the Indians, Pilgrims, and the First Thanksgiving.  The students have been making a variety of things like the Indians and Pilgrims did at the First Thanksgiving.  Ask them about it!

Reading

During our reading time we are still doing our Daily’s and meeting with the teacher to work on a variety of skills.  We have been working very hard on the ending sounds in words, writing words how they sound, and talking about the concepts of print.  We are going to continue this plus add more to what we already have been doing.  Please keep reading and practicing reading at home.

 

Math

In math we have been busy working on our numbers to 30.  This is a tough concept for all the students to understand.  We have counted items to 30, wrote the numbers to 30, and sequenced the numbers to 30.  Please work on this at home as this is a goal we have for Kindergarten.

 

Social Studies

This month we are going to spend our time discussing the Pilgrims, Indians, and the First Thanksgiving.  The kids are very excited to learn about all of the interesting things that happened during this time.  So watch as your child brings home some items that might have been at the First Thanksgiving.
